“No doubt, Insurance is a great side and has been in fine form since the start of the season,” began the talented midfielder.
“But we have our work cut out for us and that is to be crowned champions of the oldest club competition in the country for the 7th time in thirteen attempts. Motivation from management coupled with self-motivation from every player in the team as well as the determination to write our names in the sands of time shall propel us to get our targets right in the final match.
