It can be the first position as well if luck is on our side because sometimes in football you just need to be lucky. The league is a marathon and thus I would not like the fans to be very excited because we won the first match. We started well and now we have to see what goes on. Let’s enjoy this victory because this is the first official match in a long time,” he said.##NAJAVA_MECA_6824735##In his first season at the Den, Aussems guided Ingwe to a fourth-place finish but a tumultuous start to the season recently voided saw them finish seventh.The start of the current campaign has not been a smooth one either, and Ingwe had to make do without 10 players whose registration was rejected.FKF Premier League table and Week Two Fixtures.#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/T2Zhwlv5Zb— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) November 21, 2022 Leopards were penciled to play Vihiga Bullets this coming weekend but they will be out of action pending the hearing and determination of the relegation/promotion petition currently at the Sports Dispute Tribunal.They will return to action with a clash against defending champions Tusker FC on the first weekend of December.
