Chula Chula coach John Sikerete said: ‘We messed up in the first half so we have to blame ourselves for that, that’s why you saw that in the second half I changed the whole line-up and took control of the team and we came back and I should really not blame anyone, but I am disappointed over what transpired in the first half.’
YB play against Mighty Gunners on Sunday, again at the Westdene Stadium while Chula Chula will take on Khomas Namibian
