Godfrey ‘Solo’ Oduo, the new Nzoia coach was excited following the win saying he has all the confidence in his team.

Reacting over the upcoming match against Shabana FC, Oduor said he has nothing to fear: “Yes, in a week’s time we shall be travelling to Kisii County to play Shabana but all I can say  is that we are set for them.”
