Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Police FC head coach Vincent Mashami has expressed his determination to ensure that his team is in top form to continue its challenge for the trophy in the new year, adding that he is pleased with the growing confidence within the squad.<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s most recent game was against Gasogi, and it won 2-0 at Kigali Pele Stadium on Friday, December 27.<\/p>\n

The result moved Police FC to third place on the league table with 23 points. The team is now in contention for the trophy, despite having endured a couple years without winning it.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur focus is on improving and correcting our mistakes,\u201d Mashami said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am confident that we can now challenge the top teams and compete for both the league title and continental qualification next season. This is a big statement to our opponents, and we are determined to be ready for every game ahead,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Mashami also stated that his primary mission this season is to fight for the title and that the team will continue to push for victories.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to keep pushing, and we are happy to finish the year with a win. I would like to thank the players for their commitment. This victory is a crucial one for us. Winning this game proves that we are title contenders this season,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Despite recent inconsistency, with only one win in their last six matches, the victory over Gasogi came as a relief for Coach Mashami, who had been under pressure due to the team\u2019s poor form.<\/p>\n

Police FC will close their first round on January 4 when they face league leaders Rayon Sports at Kigali Pele Stadium.<\/p>\n
