Coach Malungu backs Musingu to rise from FEASSA upset

Musingu High School hockey coach Mike Malungu says he is not worried about key players from his team who will be completing their high school education, as he has enough backup for that.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, Malungu said five key players from his team will be leaving, and he believes that their backup plan will work as they intend to defend their national title next year.

“We will be having five key players who will be clearing their high school education, but we are not worried at all because we have their backup who understands our tactics, so we are still going to be competitive,” said Malungu

Musungu competed in the East Africa School game hosted in Kakamega County. They lost the first two matches in the round-robin formation, which Malungu says reduced their chances of winning the competition.

“After we lost our first two games, that was a big blow because it reduced the chances of us winning the title, but we have learned our lesson and we are willing to move on,” added Malungu

Despite missing out on the regional title this year, the veteran was impressed with the team's maturity and promised a stronger comeback next year.

“We are still going to be competitive next year; that one I can assure you, so let our opponent know that we will come up with a good team that will still fight for titles,” the coach stated.
