Useful

Ouma also noted that through the match, he noted areas of weakness, which he intends to work on before the return of the season.

-The matches we play in the pre-season are meant to help us strengthen our approach to competitive matches. From the match against Mathare I could point out the areas that need some tweaking so that we are at our best once the season comes around.
