“We played well but we switched off in the second half leading to us being punished.”  We have lost two matches in a row and it’s a big concern to us, especially in both occasions where we were leading only to throw away the leads.” 

“First leg is now behind us and so we want to have a better second leg, we are beginning with a home fixture against Nzoia and we are simply going for a win. We have talked to the players and they have assured us of a positive second leg.”

The teams have met in seven occasions, winning two a piece respectively while drawing three times. First leg meeting ending in favour of Nzoia Sugar who won by 2:1.
