Kenyatta University coach Clifford Nyangwara was left fuming after his charges failed to breakdown JKUAT in a Kenya Hockey Union Premier League clash despite dominating the varsity derby at the City Park yesterday.
KU dominated the entire match, created chances but could not sound the boards, leaving Nyangwara unimpressed. He said: “The worst part of any sport is not to make your chances count. We played and gave everything to win but we couldn’t. JKUAT has always been a tough team to play against considering the match between these two sides is a derby. We will have to prepare well to get maximum points in our next game.”
His counterpart, Tevin Jamine was happy to have gotten a point despite missing several first-team players.
“We take the result positively because we did not have majority of our first team players who are on holiday and that’s why there was no precision in our style of play today. We hope to have all our players back to continue with our training program,” said Jamine.
He added that there is much to be done to turn their season around. “Past results have not been kind to us and there is a lot to be done to get the season going. The season has not been good so far but we are slowly improving,” he added.
