On his side Ladybucks head coach Michael Dave said they never expected to win.

“We didn’t play as we planned as we are still building the team and I believe we shall improve as time goes on. We even didn’t have a consistent place to train especially after the Kisumu Sports Ground was closed for renovations,” he said.

On his side Lakeside assistant head coach Lusaga Brian blamed their former player John Wijas for ‘killing’ them.

“We played well compared to our previous matches. We were killed ny our own former player who understands our team well.

“We are also working on team chemistry after loosing several players and I believe our next matches we shall get positive results,” Lusaga said.
