<\/a><\/p>\n

Reacting to the draw, Coach Hunter said the draw on Sunday was a vital point for his team.<\/p>\n

The Killers came from behind twice in the first after a free kick and penalty from Old Edwardians skipper Mohamed Kamara put them behind.The 2019 Champions thought the match was going to be an easy workout but they faced a monumental task from an invigorated Old Edwardians team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew that we made a couple of mistakes in the match but I\u2019m disappointed with the officials. They have an easy penalty and blew the match over with over one minutes left to play,\u201d Coach Hunter protested.<\/p>\n

He said that his team will continue to hunt for more despite the long lead by defending champions, Mighty Blackpool.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still have hopes and we have matches to play,\u201d Hunter said.<\/p>\n

East End Lions are perceived to be among the front runners for the title this season after third place Mighty Blackpool have dropped 7 points in just two weeks.<\/p>\n
