Strathmore University have their eyes firmly set on Super Cup set to throw off in three weeks.
The students who had to fight hard against top teams to be in that position are convinced they can emulate their 2018 season by winning the diadem.
He said their fourth-place finish in the KHF) league is not good for the team. They garnered 29 points from 14 wins.
"The league is over and we are in position four which is not good for us. Now that we are in the Super Cup, it’s important we redeem ourselves," coach Peter Mwathi said.
"We have learned through the hard way and we have to deal with all matches with the seriousness they deserve."
He said losing against Inspired and Thika was a major blow to the team as they could have easily missed from the top six teams.
"We have been top contenders for the league for the last five years finishing at position two and now position four is not good for us."
He, however, said they hope to rectify their mistakes ahead of the forthcoming season.
His immediate attention though remains on the Kenya University Sports Association (KUSA) games that throw off in Eldoret on Friday.
He said they will use the tournament to test the team's formula and make corrections where necessary.
During the Kusa games, they hope to confront the likes of Kenyatta University, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (Jkuat) and Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST).
In a related development, Rift Valley champions the University of Eldoret (UoE) captain Cheleget Hill said they hope to take advantage of the home ground to deliver good results.

He added, "Our main aim is to try our best so that we play the finals and set a record for our team."
Hill said their best performance nationwide has been the third position and it's time they won the event.
"We have been training well and we have improved so much in defence, which was our main undoing. We are not scared of anyone."
The exposure the team gained in the KHF league by playing various matches helped them rectify their mistakes.
