According to Momanyi, they were targeting to win all the remaining matches before the end of the season.
“It is a collective responsibility from the players to the technical bench and I am delighted with the way our fans give their best to get positive result,” he added.
On his part, the club chairman Nyandoro Kambi said they are pulling all stops to ensure the club seals promotion to the top tier.
“As management, we are determined to ensure the boys are well motivated so that they can deliver good results” said Kambi.
