Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Trans-Nzoia Falcons coach Justine Okiring said they are working hard to find a solution to a misunderstanding that has divided club officials and players through the middle.<\/p>\n

Okiring said the division arose after he suspended two players for alleged indiscipline pending investigation.<\/p>\n

A meeting between the club management and the Trans Nzoia County on Tuesday is the highlight of the road towards bringing order at the Football Kenya Federation Women’s Premier League side.<\/p>\n

The division hit an all-time low as Okiring and all team officials gave Falcons WPL opener against Thika Queens a wide berth.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the team went on to beat the former champions 2-0 at Kenyatta Stadium, Kitale with goals from Noel Amtata and Elizabeth Wafula.<\/p>\n

“Some officials are fighting me because I am very strict when it comes to discipline in the playing unit,” alleged Okiring.<\/p>\n

“I had to suspend two players whose behaviour bordered on indiscipline and that has created unrest and chaos among the players and officials.”<\/p>\n

“It was unfortunate that players faced Thika without me (head coach) and none of the other officials. We will meet the county administration on Tuesday hoping to find a lasting solution.<\/p>\n

Last Friday, rumours swirled that there has been a go-slow at Falcons as players, technical bench and the management differed on various issues. Key among them is a proposed take-over of the team operations by the Trans Nzoia County government.<\/p>\n

“In fact, there has been no wrangles between officials and the county. Let’s set the record straight. The county has supported the team where they can,” Okiring pleaded.<\/p>\n

“I need to work in a conducive environment but when interference creeps in, it becomes impossible. Discipline is paramount and whoever goes against it, goes against the values of the team.”<\/p>\n

“These are some of the things that have led to poor performance. Thankfully, three-quarters of the players and officials back me and that shows there’s light at the end of the tunnel.”<\/p>\n

Falcosn resume training on Tuesday ahead of this weekend’s encounter against Ulinzi Starlets in Nairobi.<\/p>\n
