Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Crease Beasts captain Ian Aston is over the moon after beating Gladiators 21-17 in the Kenya Lacross League match at USIU.<\/p>\n

Aston, however, warned that the victory did not just come on a silver platter as they were made to work hard for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo game is simple. Victory calls for persistence, hard work and cooperation on the pitch,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cKey passing and strong passes saw us emerge victorious. However, there is still room for improvement in certain areas and we will no doubt make amends,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Gladiators team captain Felix Ouma admitted that they were never at their best. \u201cWe have conceded two goals. We had several fouls which cost us heavily. We played high stakes which is not normally allowed in the game. We also got several time-outs that saw our opponents take advantage of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThe last quarter messed us up because the first three worked in our favour. We had good markings which worked for us.<\/p>\n

Going forward, we look to work on our stick work, dodges and shooting. Most of us are still learning and we hope to do better,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s matches, the Visionaries outclassed the Black Stingers 20-8 while the Bangers beat the Panthers with a convincing 28-10 victory.<\/p>\n

In another match, Bangers beat Visionaries 24-13 while the Panthers redeemed themselves with a 13-7 victory over the Black Stingers. Beatrix top the table with nine points.<\/p>\n

The league which started over the weekend is expected to end in December.<\/p>\n
