A thrilling showdown in the FKF Premier League saw intense matches unfold, with Posta Rangers and Bandari earning results.
Speaking during a pre-race press conference, Kerley was bullish about his chances of winning the race and spoke it out boldly with the surety that he would clinch the top prize.
“We all came for one common goal...to win and only one person can win, that’s me…simple,” a smiling Kerley said.
Talking about the disaster in Budapest, Kerley insisted that it is now behind him and he is now looking forward to making an impact in upcoming races, with the Diamond League Meeting his first priority.
In Xiamen, there will be 10 lanes for athletes in the 100m but that does not bother him at all since he already has eyes on the prize.
“It will be a good competition…10 lanes are unheard of but you have to look at the competitors. Budapest was Budapest and right now I’m looking forward to the next journey.
Whatever happened there is already behind me and I am ready for tomorrow,” Kerley said.
