The Multimedia University hockey team for ladies started the ongoing Hockey National league on a bad note after being beaten by the Kenyatta University team 5-0 at City park. Grace Moraa was the first on target on the 16th minute.
The second half proved to be the worst moment for MMU ladies as KU team scored in a span of 25 minutes. Grace scored the third goal while Nana Baraza scored the forth and fifth goal.
The Kenyatta University head coach Dominic Mutwol praised his side and said his girls have improved a lot and that they have the capacity to lift the league. While MMU coach George Jalang’o blamed the referees of the game saying they were not fair enough and that they favored the Kenyatta University team. He said, “A lot of errors occurred in the field but the referees were not doing their jobs. Very many fouls were committed by KU players but all these were ignored.” However he said he will look into the improvement of the whole team.
Jalang’o also challenged the hockey management to get qualified referees who will do their work without favoritism.This happened after the defending champions, MMU hockey team for boys beat Thika Rovers 3-0 to continue remaining at the top of the league with clear nine points.
Both teams are back in the University and have started practice for next weekend’s matches.
