After dropping two points at home to Coast Stima in their debut match of the FKF National Super League, Green Commandoes will be traveling to Naivasha ahead of their second match against Nairobi Stima, slated for Saturday, February 17, 2018.
Commandoes were pegged back by an 85th-minute equalizer by Coast Stima super-sub Collins Kombo in a match the hosts had squandered numerous goal scoring opportunities.
Despite coming up against a formidable opponent in Nairobi Stima, the Kakamega High School side will be hoping to give a good account of themselves.
“We were not able to get a good result (in our first match) despite playing well. Football (however) is a learning process and I am confident we will correct our mistakes in our next match,” said Green Commandoes coach Brenden Mwinamo, following their opening 1-1 draw against Coast Stima at the Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega.
Stima, meanwhile, will welcome Kisumu All-Stars to the Mbaraki Sports Club in a doubleheader that will also see Modern Coast Rangers face KCB. Both matches have been scheduled for Saturday, February 17, 2018.
