Sports Director at Pakati – Mr Kahuni – gave his thoughts about their chances in the next round, the District competitions:
“We managed to win the Zonal competition, but as we go to the District, the competition will be more tense. The team played well but they need to improve in defence. Our keeper and the defenders should communicate well and pass accurately to the next player”.
More details of the District level games to follow.
Well done to Pakati for winning the Zonal competition!!!
