Nzoia Sugar FC interim head coach Peter Ginn has expressed confidence in his team’s ability to bounce back from their recent defeat as they prepare for a crucial National Super League (NSL) match against relegation-threatened Mombasa Stars this weekend. Despite a disappointing 1-0 loss to Luanda Villa last weekend, Ginn has reassured the fans and players that the team has taken proactive steps to address the mistakes that led to the defeat and is now focused on regaining form.
Speaking ahead of the match, Ginn acknowledged the challenges his team has faced but emphasized their readiness to compete in what is expected to be a high-stakes encounter. The coach revealed that the players have been working hard in training to rectify the lapses from the previous match and are mentally and physically prepared for the showdown in Mombasa.
“We’ve taken time to address the lapses that cost us against Luanda Villa. The players have shown character and commitment in training, and we are going to Mombasa with one clear goal — to win and get our season back on track,” said Ginn.
Nzoia Sugar FC, currently sitting 15th in the NSL standings with 28 points from 26 matches, is just above the relegation zone. With the team struggling to find consistency, their upcoming fixture against Mombasa Stars takes on added importance. Mombasa Stars are also fighting to avoid relegation, and the clash has the potential to be a crucial six-pointer in the race to stay in the second tier of Kenyan football.
Ginn has moved to reassure the club’s supporters, assuring them that despite the recent setbacks, Nzoia Sugar will not be relegated. He made it clear that the team is fully committed to fighting for survival and will honor all their remaining fixtures with determination. The coach is confident that with the right attitude, Nzoia Sugar will avoid the drop and finish the season on a positive note.
“I want to assure our fans that Nzoia will not be relegated. We are committed to playing every match with passion and purpose, and I believe we have what it takes to survive. We will fight to the end,” Ginn asserted.
The match, scheduled for this weekend at the Mombasa Municipal Stadium, promises to be a tense and decisive affair. Both teams are well aware of the stakes, and anything less than a victory could make their chances of survival even more difficult. For Nzoia Sugar, securing all three points against Mombasa Stars is crucial to keeping their hopes of staying in the NSL alive. The players and coaching staff are determined to leave no stone unturned as they aim to turn their fortunes around and begin climbing the league table.
With both sides desperate for points, the encounter is expected to be a hard-fought battle, where every goal and every moment could have a significant impact on the relegation race. For Nzoia Sugar, this is a must-win game to stay on course for survival and avoid the nightmare of relegation. The players, under Ginn’s guidance, will be hoping to put in a strong performance and secure a vital victory to ease the growing pressure as the season draws to a close.
