Trinity Starlets team manager Chris Kibeca is putting emphasis on discipline, communication and sharper execution ahead of their Women’s Premier League match against Kenya Police Bullets on Sunday.
Starlets head into the match determined to translate improved preparation into points after a demanding run of fixtures.
Trinity Starlets lost to Kayole Starlets 2-1 to end their unbeaten record run.
“We have had a good week of training and the focus has been on correcting the small mistakes that have been costing us,” Kibeca said.
He noted that the technical bench has pushed for better decision-making in key moments.
“The players understand what is at stake and the response in training has been positive. Against a team like Police Bullets, you must stay organised from the first minute to the last.”
He urged his players to maintain intensity while trusting the system.
Meanewhile, Police Bullets head coach David Vijago admitted that lapses in concentration and inefficiency in both boxes have hurt his side in recent outings.
Fine margins have separated them from better results. The cops fell 4-2 to Kibera Soccer in a midweek fixture at Marist University in Karen.
“What has cost us is not lack of effort, but moments where we switch off, especially defensively, and our failure to punish opponents when chances come,” Vijago said.
Vijago said Bullets are targeting a more controlled performance built on compact defending and quicker transitions.
“We have worked on our shape and recovery runs, and we want to be more clinical going forward. The plan is to control the tempo, stay patient, and take our chances when they come,” he added,
Discipline will be key against a Trinity side eager to press and attack.
