Nzoia’s coach Shikanda elated with weekend win, out to build on momentum

Nzoia Sugar FC tactician Ibrahim Shikanda is happy after his side registered their first win of the current campaign against solid Kariobangi Sharks at their Sudi backyard over the weekend.

A Levis Okello hat-trick settled the closely fought match and in the process earned the millers their first win this term.

Shikanda expressed his delight at bagging maximum points from the match.

However, the former Bandari assistant coach admitted that the match was far from comfortable and wants to build on the result going forward.

“Kariobangi Sharks is a tough opponent enjoying some good run in the league, bagging maximum points against such a side is not a walk in the park.

As you know we have been waiting for such a result to ignite us, and we want to build on that going forward,” he told Citizen Digital.

Nzoia have been on a torrid downward spiral as they have recorded five defeats, three draws and a win (W1, D3, L5), under the watch of seasoned tactician Ibrahim Shikanda.

The coach stated that the team has just been unlucky this term but are working to correct that worrying form.

They are third from bottom on the log, on six points, after nine matches played.

They host defending champions Tusker on Saturday in what could be another mouth-watering clash.
