I knew there was competition and for me to beat it, I had to bring on board what was lacking in the rest. I try as much as I can to be solid and at the same time, deliver crosses with the right precision. I also give my best in as far as recovering the ball is concerned, ” he said.Njammah who joined Liberty Academy in 2020 after severing ties with the Kenyatta Hospital football team in the meantime is keen on turning professional once his stay at Talanta elapses.Two quick goals in Nakuru mean it is all square between Ulinzi and Police in the Afande DerbyCURRENT SCORES90 |Bidco United 1 Gor Mahia 189 | FC Talanta 2 Nzoia Sugar 290 |Ulinzi Stars 2 Kenya Police 289 |Mathare United 1 AFC Leopards 271 | KCB 2 Posta Rangers 1 #FKFPL— FKFcaretaker (@FKFcaretaker) January 23, 2022 He revealed his wish of scaling to the paid up ranks once his two-year long contract with the Communications Authority of Kenya sponsored team comes to an end just like some of the Liberty Academy products have done in the past.”I don’t want to last in our league for a long time.
