"The Coach brought new ideas and made the players believe in themselves. He also made the players realise the importance of donning the gold and black.
"It was not planned that I had to take the bench without him this evening. We have worked as the team for the entire season.
"Preparation started at training and I am glad the boys pulled it off. Words cannot describe how I feel about this victory.
Doc a legend at Naturena having won three league titles as a player between 1987-2004 paid tribute to the Executive Chairman for his leadership.

"He is such an inspiration and deserves each and every accolade he is getting today. He has bigger plans going forward.
