"It was a tough game and most importantly we got the 3 points which gives us believe and hope in the league.," Kwaku told Times Sport.

"We have 8 games remaining; that is 24 points left to play for and trust me, we are going to fight for every point.”

"We'll play a game at a time; we needed this win to boost the team’s self-belief and confidence. That has come and we hope to build from there," he added.

The Ngoma-based club will play APR FC in a rescheduled game on Tuesday, March 5, before hosting Kiyovu Sports at Ngoma Stadium on March 12.
