In their last 14 matches they only managed to amass 18 points which puts them in ninth position of the league.
Club Spokesperson, Berry Ramunenenyiwa was adamant that the club rise would again to top the NFD. “The league is not yet finished. There are a lot of matches still to be played and we are confident that we will come out with maximum points,” Ramunenyiwa said.
