Despite the loss, Young Spykers head coach John Kimani remains optimistic about the team’s future.
“We are glad to have made our debut in the top-tier league. Finishing at the bottom isn’t ideal, but we’ve gained experience and will come back stronger next season,” said Kimani. “We have a young squad, and we’ll work on our weaknesses with the aim of qualifying for the play-offs next time.”
