Looking Ahead
Aduku is confident that the team will return to form and perform better in their next fixtures. He is keen on instilling a fighting spirit and resilience in the players as they continue their campaign in the tournament.
“It’s important that we learn from this defeat and come back stronger. The girls have the talent and determination to succeed, and I believe they will show that in our next game,” he said.
