Head coach Boniface Nyamunyamu maintains that resilience in battles provides the needed cutting edge. He has urged his charges to compound all future fixtures with intention.
“When we lost to Kenya Police Bullets, we reflected back, then looked forth. And yes, bolstered mental preparedness for the remainder of the season is the critical driver,” holds Nyamunyamu.
On his part, the team’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Michael Senelwa who leads the pack of operations advocated for team work and a collaborative targeted approach when it comes to execution of mandates. He said this will go along way in achieving the set targets, key among them being qualifying for this year’s CECAFA competition.
“Team, let us play to win, with our hearts and minds. It’s all hands on deck by all and sundry,” resolved Senelwa.
