Kimani has explained why the quality of the creative players at his disposal could play a big part in helping him achieve the side’s objectives for the season.
Ulinzi Stars head coach Anthony ‘Modo’ Kimani believes that the quality of creative players at his disposal could play an "important" part in helping him achieve the side’s objectives despite losing 1-0 to Kakamega Homeboyz.
Attacking midfielder Kevin Thairu was chosen to start ahead of Ben Stanley Omondi, an exciting 19-year-old wunderkind who made things happen when he came on as a substitute in the second half, while winger Boniface Muchiri showed flashes of brilliance as Ulinzi tried to get the win against Homeboyz.
Oscar Paul came off the bench to give Homeboyz all three points in the dying seconds of the match, which now leaves the Soldiers lying perilously close to the relegation places.
