It’s sad to know that our footballers are asked to compete at this venue and we will be submitting a report on the ground to the relevant authority to ensure we don’t have to play on venues like this again.

We began slowly as the players were very cautious in the first half while the second half was better as we focused on more of a direct approach. Overall it was a good showing.”
