Nzoia's Babu hails Tusker draw, hopeful of dodging the relegation axe

 

Nzoia Sugar FC tactician Salim Babu has lauded his team for playing to his instructions against Football Kenya Federation Premier League defending champions Tusker on Sunday, saying they had prepared well for the match and the point earned after a two-all-draw was not by fluke.

The draw saw the Sudi-based millers move further towards safety in the league.

Babu believes they are on the right path to dodge the drop.

"We had prepared well for the match. Football is a game of instructions and the players played just how I wanted and put in the effort,” he explained. “This vital point has pushed us above the relegation zone and we will take it from there, we want to move away from the relegation area completely, we want to be safe and you can see my boys are in high spirits to ensure this is done," Babu told Citizen Digital.

The millers are placed 15th on the log with 30 points just three above the revived 16th-placed Vihiga Bullets who are also fighting to dodge the axe.

Meanwhile, with three matches remaining, Tusker sit second on the FKF-PL log with 57 points, three behind league leaders Kakamega Homeboyz who played to a one-all-draw against Gor Mahia on Saturday.
