Nyamunyamu says Vihiga still team to beat despite setback
Vihiga Queens coach Boniface Nyamunyamu is confident his charges will rise again after dropping two crucial points at the weekend following a goalless draw with Gaspo Women.
Vihiga, who are seeking to reclaim the league crown they relinquished last season to current Thika Queens, had conjured up five straight victories since the league started until they faced Gaspo on Sunday at the Mumias Sports Complex.
, coach Nyamunyamu remains positive despite the setback, saying his charges are grounded andand will bounce back strongly this weekend when they meet Zetech Sparks on matchday seven in Nairobi.
“It was a nice game though we lost most of our open chances that we could have utilised to kill off the game. However, we hope to be back on winning,” Nyamunyamu told People Sport.
The Legacy Makers, as they are popularly referred to, are still firmly on top of the league table standings with 16 points from five wins and a draw in six matches they have played so far.
