FKFPL Baraza reveals how Kenya Police have navigated busy fixture schedule

The Law Enforcers are fifth on the league standings with 49 points from 27 matches.

Kenya Police FC head coach Francis Baraza has hailed his squad depth following Wednesday's 2-0 success over Bidco United in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL).

The Law Enforcers made it two straight wins in the league, with red-hot striker Elvis Rupia finding the back of the net on two occasions. 

Baraza is happy to navigate his way through a busy run of matches, adding that he is pleased to have a chance to rotate his squad.

"If you check my team depth, it has helped us so much. I can make changes in the squad regularly, giving time for other players to have needed rest. The fixtures are so tight, and depth in the squad has been helpful," he said.

Baraza was pleased with his side's display against Bidco but said that the team's style of play has been affected in recent matches by the conditions of the pitches.

"I am happy for my players, and I am happy we scored an early goal in the first half, defended our lead well, and came in the second half and scored the second.

The rain season has affected most of the pitches, which have affected the display not only of my team but also others in the league," he added.

Attention for Kenya Police now shifts to their next game against FC Talanta, who were beaten 1-0 away from home by Nzoia Sugar in their last outing.
