Richards Bay coach Pitso Dlaldla has insisted his side need to win the Nedbank Cup final otherwise no one will remember their brilliant run this season.
The Natal Rich Boyz eliminated giant killers Casric Stars after a composed 1-0 win on Saturday, thanks to an early own goal by Sphamandla Mlilo after five minutes.

Durban City have now beaten Chippa United, Upington City and Golden Arrows, all on penalties, before today’s win inside 90 minutes.
However, Dladla insisted it would all count for nothing if they won’t lift the trophy, citing Bafana’s AFCON triumph from 1996, with everyone still remembering Mark Williams’ name.
“I don’t anyone would remember us for that, because I can tell you now most of the people would have forgotten who we played…” he said on SuperSport TV.
“As much as we won the first on penalties, second on penalties, third one on penalties and this one.
“The most important thing, once we are in the final you have to win it. Even if we go there to the final, then you lose it, nobody will remember you.
“It’s like Bafana Bafana when they won AFCON – we all know Mark Williams, we don’t know who else was there.
“For us we are in the final, we want to be remembered. For us to be remembered we need to win the final.”
Durban City will now wait for Sunday’s second semi-final between TS Galaxy and Milford FC to find out who they will face in the final.
