I have seen people criticizing and much it is within their right, I have different thoughts. Homeboyz, Bullets, Bandari, Nzoia and Ulinzi are the only teams who understand what it takes to honor an away match, ” he said.Full Time:Kakamega Homeboyz 1-1 WazitoSunday Mutuku ’50 pic.twitter.com/9P9ATb0Ipr— Kakamega Homeboyz FC (@FcHomeboyz) May 1, 2022 He added “We travel hundreds of kilometers for matches and this has had an effect in as far as fatigue is concerned. We only have two players in the team who have ever won the league unlike our closest challengers who understand how to handle difficult situations. However, I believe we will finish well, ” he explained.From child labour to football stardom – This is Moses Mudavadi’s storyWith five matches remaining in the season, the former Bandari tactician told his charges to employ the tactics and approach they had in the first five duels of the season.”I have instructed the boys to forget about the past five matches and instead focus on the remaining ones. There is an approach we had in the first five matches of the season that worked to fruition. If we execute it, we will certainly, bag as many points as possible in the remainder of the season, ” he said.
