Shikanda vows to sink Bandari to stay away from the axe

Nzoia Sugar FC tactician Ibrahim Shikanda is confident his side will bag maximum points when they take on his former club Bandari, in their next FKF Premier League fixture tomorrow.

Nzoia held 12-time champions AFC Leopards at the Nakuru Show Grounds in their last match, a performance Shikanda is keen to build on.

We are going for the three points and nothing less, my boys are in good spirit and we want to get good results that will put us in a better position on the log.

“We don’t want to start worrying about relegation in our very last matches,” said Shikanda.

Having coached Bandari before, the coach says he knows where to press and unsettle the Casa Mbungo coached side.

“I know them all. I have been with them before so it should be easier for us to cage them. We are in a crucial stage of the league so we have to exploit every opportunity possible,” added a confident Shikanda.

Nzoia Sugar FC are 14th on the FKF-PL log with 23 points from 26 matches while Bandari are 7th on the standings with 40 points, 15 points behind leaders Tusker FC.

Five matches to the end of the season, the sugar millers are just a place from the relegation zone, with only two points above a resurgent Western Stima – who have however played an extra one match.
