Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Sailors team manager Collins Asimba insists they will have to be better in their upcoming assignments if they are to avoid relegation.<\/p>\n

Sailors drew 1-1 with Wolverines in a Kenya Hockey Union Premier League match at the City Park Stadium on Sunday, which extended their winless run to seven matches.<\/p>\n

Yvonne Madowo’s 42nd-minute strike for newbies Wolverines was canceled out by Leah Omwandho’s thunderous effort in the 44th minute.<\/p>\n

“Conversion has been our Achilles heel. We create a lot but we don’t take our chances,” said Asambi.<\/p>\n

“You can’t win a match with a toothless attack. The squad is depleted also. We only had three players on the bench and one was a rookie.”<\/p>\n

“We know we can do better and relegation has never crossed our minds. We will rise again and the sooner we can do that the better.”<\/p>\n

Wolverines coach Dennis Owoka said it was two points dropped but a draw was a fair result. He, however, added that they will have to inject fresh blood into the team with many of their players on the wrong end of their careers.<\/p>\n

“We need to start getting points because it doesn’t look good for us in mid-table. The priority is to recruit and we will be stronger next season. Some players came this morning (Sunday) from Eldoret and Meru so training as a team is another problem,” said Asambi, a former title-winning coach with Butali Warriors<\/p>\n

“The few times that we meet we try to work out on tactics and formation. We have a very solid defence but in as much as the midfield looks good, there’s some disconnect that must be rectified.”<\/p>\n

“We also understand age is not on our side. Some players have been in the top-flight for so long. We are looking to replace them but you can’t replace someone who is better than the one coming in,” he added.<\/p>\n

Sailors could not make their first-half dominance count.<\/p>\n

Dominic Kremer, who was deployed as Sailors’ defacto number 10, cut a dejected figure after creating countless chances for teammates only for them to be spanned with Linet Lusinde and versatile midfielder Sheila Chebet wasting glorious chances.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, record champions Blazers rescued a point after Maureen Okumu scored an equaliser in the 55th minute to cancel out Aurelia Opndo’s 19th-minute goal.<\/p>\n
