Sofapaka head coach David Ouma insists on being proud of his young charges despite falling victim to a 3-0 drubbing by Kenya Police FC in a league match played at the Police Sacco Stadium in Nairobi on Wednesday afternoon.

“The game was a little bit physical because all the 50-50 balls today were not favoring my team,” said Ouma, “Tyson is a more physical player than Felix and won his battles when he came on,”
