I have told my players that we have to play every game as if there is no tomorrow because for us, every game is important considering our popositio on the table,” Pamzo offered.Indeed every game must be a final for Shabana as they find themselves in the relegation spot at 17th position with 7 matches to go and have to give their all if they’re to survive the chop.BREAKING: FKF suspends five over match-fixingShabana FC, sleeping giants for almost two decades, fought their way back to the top flight of Kenyan football after 17 years, much to the excitement and joy of their fans and the Gusii community, from which they draw their heritage and much of their fanbase.They’ve brought fresh air to the league with their supporters filling stadiums whether they’re playing at home or away.

The team is not the way I found it. For example, we no longer conceed last minute goals due to concentration lapses which is part of the work we’ve done,” Pamzo adds.After a slow start in his tenure, Shabana seems to be regaining form which has seen them win 2 and draw 1 in their last three matches as they fight for their survival. They will be hoping to continue with that form when they play Sofapaka who also find themselves in the same spot.”Sofapaka is a good team and Zico(their coach) is a former teammate and good coach too but we’re prepared and are going for the maximum points for that game,” he added.Pamzo is banking on the renewed belief from his players to give a better account of themselves and the team in this fightUlinzi Starlets gear up for FKF Women’s Cup semifinal clash against Police”We didn’t have the belief when I came in but we now do. The players have also improved individually. If we can get a win, it will give us confidence in the upcoming matches and reduce the pressure on the team,” he continued.The former Kenyan international has also praised the team’s supporters and called on their continued support to the team”Our fans have been with us even when the team wasn’t performing well and so we don’t want to let them down. The more we get their support, the more we increase our survival chances.”##EDITORS_CHOICE##
