Nyamunyamu handed rare starts to Diana Cherono, Ruth Kasoa and Nabirye.

The trio influenced the outcome of the match to justify their selection, with Nyamunyamu admitting he faces a tough decision to include them in the starting lineup for their league match against Kayole Starlets next weekend.

"The aforementioned players have grabbed their chance and proved to the technical bench that they are ready to play in the cut-throat WPL," Nyamunyamu observed.

"They have what it takes to perform even better going forward. This is a good problem for me because I now know I can rely on all my players to produce better results.  The competition for places is very fierce."

Nyamunyamu however warned the players not to rest on their laurels.

"They need to put more effort into training. The fact that they are ready for more first-team action doesn't mean they can afford to relax."
