“First of all I would like to thank the players, the previous technical bench and the management for winning last year’s tournament. We are in the second edition and are already in the quarter-finals, it shows that our aim to defend the title is very much on course. The boys are ready to face KCB on Sunday, we have put ourselves in a place where we can win two titles in a row.”
