We must work on our mistakes and make them minimal. All the mistakes from the City Stars game will be worked on; we will strive to improve and keep taking it a game at a time.”After the international break, Ingwe will play Murang’a SEAL, then take on promoted Mara Sugar, and Ulinzi Stars, and then face off with rivals Gor Mahia in the Mashemeji derby on Sunday 24 November.
