Babra Banda she is selfish she needs to be counseled. Otherwise we are not going any where with that attitude. Fashion was like but he has improved very tramendioualy. She should learn from that, it’s all about team work.
Solid display first half. Hoping for a spirited and controlled second half.
Atlist we are proving our selves
Congrats to Copper queens. Technical bench need to work on our defense.. The goals we allowed it was lack of seriousness at the back.
We have more work to do if we want to lift the trophy and bring it here and make history. Our striking force is sharp.
