REACTIONS.

JAMES ODOCH – INTERIM MANAGER.

“We’ve been working on a few issues ahead of our game against Onduparaka FC on Friday like our defence because we’ve been conceding unnecessarily especially in our last three games but atleast we’ve tried to work on it. Friday’s game is abut challenging because Onduparaka FC have done well against us on previous occasions, we’re also aware that Mohammed Shaban has been scoring so we’ve prepared well to ensure he doesn’t score. Our target remains finishing in the top four and we can only do that by winning games”.

ABEL ETRUDE – ASSISTANT CAPTAIN/MIDFIELDER.

“The team is well prepared ahead of our game against Onduparaka FC on Friday, we respect Onduparaka FC but we’ve also been on a good run and that will be motivation enough to earn maximum points. I am also happy I’ve managed to return from injury and when i get the opportunity I’ll do my best to help the team win”.

The game kicks off at 4pm live on Sanyuka TV.
