\u201cThe first match cannot be used to judge our season”, says Mr. Sammy Okoth, Shabana FC Coach<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shabana FC, despite their 0-1 loss to Murang’a Seals at Homabay’s Raila Odinga Stadium last Sunday, holds a confident optimism for improving in future matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The season opened with Shabana in a challenging showdown against Murang\u2019a Seals, where a late goal from the opposition ruined the chance for a draw. Despite this, the team sees the experience as fuel for doubling down on their efforts to perform better in the games to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sammy Okoth, the team’s coach, maintains that the first game shouldn’t define the entire season’s prospects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It was a tough match, but this is football, you have to accept the result. We played well, but luck was not on our side. And the first match cannot be used to judge our season,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kisii Governor Simba Arati, host Governor Gladys Wanga, the leadership team from Shabana\u2019s official sponsor,<\/a> Bangsports, and other officials graced the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
