Friday’s game is abit challenging because Onduparaka FC have done well against us on previous occasions, we’re also aware that Mohammed Shaban has been scoring so we’ve prepared well to ensure he doesn’t score. Our target remains finishing in the top four and we can only do that by winning games”. Interim head coach, James Odoch.
