“This is a game we had in our hands and could have managed a win but we dug ourselves in a hole in the first quarter. We tried to get out of it in the second and third quarter but got tired again in the final quarter but we have learned from our mistakes and the girls are looking forward to better matches ahead.” Said team official Agina Wesonga.
