Resolution Impala Saracens Captain – Samuel Motari:
This could possibly pass as the best start to a leg this season. We usually start of lethargic, but today we put our bodies on the line. We made a couple of mistakes especially with the kick-offs, but we got the win and that is the most important take out of the game. Going into our match against Mwamba, we would need to minimize errors. If we minimize them, we’ll come out with a decent result
Resolution Impala Saracens Coach – Oscar Osir:
This is definitely a refreshing feeling. Hopefully we can continue the confidence and carry it into the Mwamba game. I know they are quick off the blocks but our plan will involve minimizing the unnecessary errors we made in our match against Oilers.
