Timbe lauds his charges

Coach Sam Timbe was an elated man after the 2009 Kenyan Premier League (KPL) champions Sofapaka registered their second successive win and clean sheet in the 1 – 0 win over KCB on Sunday.

John Baraza scored the only goal of the game and the Ugandan tactician, speaking afterwards, said his players did well in the wake of financial problems that the team has been going through.

With a game still remaining before the wrap up their first leg, Timbe said it was important that they prepare for it with a win to guarantee confidence as well as keeping with their season’s ambitions.

“We did well, the players put in a great fight despite everything they have been going through and I am happy for both the team and the players. The three points are vital for our season’s ambitions as we near the end of the first leg.
