Koolton Sports Academy head coach Mark Miguel was impressed with the Kenyans’ display while singling out their physical approach to the game.
“Ujuzisoka players were very good physically and strong on the ball. But not good in keeping possession we needed to build the play well and attack. The Kenyans were very good and fast on counter attack,” Miguel said after the game.
“This is a learning process and therefore it is important that the coaches focus on ball retention while also focusing creating space and shooting,” Miguel said.
