St. Antony's coach Lugalia eyes national hockey title, vows every match a final

Speaking to Citizen Digital, Lugalia said the team has intensified its preparations ahead of the competition and believes it has what it takes to lift the trophy.

“We are preparing well for the competition. We understand the intensity we expect, and we are mentally ready. It will not be easy—that is why we will take every game as a final,” said Lugalia.

St. Antony's has been drawn in Pool A alongside Kisumu Day, Alliance High School, and Mbooni Boys—a group the head coach believes will be exciting due to the quality of opposition.

“It is a tough pool. Every team has experience playing at the national level and boasts quality players. However, we are determined to qualify for the next round and go all the way to win the title,” he added.

St. Antony's has finished as runners-up in the past two years, losing to Musingu High School in the national finals. The veteran tactician believes it is time for his side to reclaim the title.
