“Well, for starters I can say it has been a very tough journey. Especially convincing players to play for the team without pay. I bet their passion and devotion made things a little bit easier for us to manage,” the soft spoken captain narrated.
“This has been the best team to work with. The energy on and off the pitch, their ability to work and learn as a team,is so motivating and uplifting. Mathari Hospital FC is the best family one can join,” he continued.
Commenting on the tough league assignments awaiting them, Gilly as famously known by his peers revealed that Mathari Hospital FC is a force to be reckoned with and that any side facing the outfit must come well armed.
“And it’s hard to play against us. We are always prepared to face any team without fear. Prayers and good training from our coaches give us motivation and allow us room for improvement. Our mindset is always of putting God first and winning each match at a time.” He concluded.
Mathari Hospital FC will host Kisa All Stars for their first league match of the season at the Mathare Depot Grounds on Saturday.
