Sofapaka FC captain Titus Achesa is chuffed ahead of the new Football Kenya Federation Premier League campaign.Achesa, who is one of the senior-most players not only in the team but also in the entire topflight, feels that Batoto Ba Mungu have had a perfect preparation this season as compared to last season.I will restore Sofapaka’s lost glory-David OumaThe 2009 champions had a very slow start to the campaign last season occasioned by their dwindling numbers owing to a FIFA suspension at the moment.“We had a very tricky and shaky kick-off into last year’s season with a partly twelve players to fight for the badge owing to FIFA’s suspension and lack of proper preparation. This time round we have one of the best preparations. The club made the signings in good time and we have been conducting our preseason training with a full house except for Rody Manga, who came in a bit late, but we are glad he is in good shape,” Achesa said as quoted on the club’s portal.##NAJAVA_MECA_6696527##Further, Achesa is not perturbed by the loss of the former captain Lawrence Juma and Sofapaka’s former custodian Fredrick Odhiambo who both left the club for Rwandese side AS Kigali, pointing out that the technical bench has moved with speed to bring in replacements for the two.Sofapaka’s new signing delighted after getting off the markThe club’s recruitment drive in the transfer window is something that has given Sofapaka the hope of dreaming again of another title, with the skipper remaining optimistic that they will be among the contenders.“We lost two key players in Lawrence Juma and Fredrick Odhiambo, but I am pleased the technical bench have done a great job in finding perfect replacements in their positions. With the squad and depth we have, I look forward to building on last season’s great run towards the end. I am confident we will be one of the teams that will be challenging for the title,” he added.
