Shimenga eyeing first 7s national title with Butula

Butula High School head coach  Shimenga  Livondo  has set his sight on winning  the national sevens title at his new school, after failing to clinch the title last year.

Butula reached the nationals final for the first time but lost to Koyonzo High School, and Shimenga believes they have the right squad to challenge for the title.

“My aim is to win this year’s title, last year the players experienced what it means playing at top level. This time round they know what is expected of them, for us it is to win the title and nothing less. They have learnt from their mistakes and know what to do now," said Shimenga

The former St. Peters Mumias head coach feels they have prepared adequately following last year's heartbreak.

“Last year there was a lot of uncertainties whether take place or not and we did not get enough time to prepare but this time round we have enough time to put in some hard work in place and get ready for the competition," added Shimenga.

The tactician also outlined plans to feature in top tournaments ahead of the games, set for March.

“We will play in some two tournament before the games begin in march and we are hoping to face some of the teams that will look like a threat in our  way to win the title ,”the veteran tactician told Citizen Digital.
