"We really want to be back where we belong - at the National finals. We have been training really hard and have already registered for the tournament." Stanslaus Murefu, the team's Assistant Coach told Mozzart Sport.
Several talented players from the team have been scouted from the team in the past editions, most notably David Majak who is now in the books of Kenyan Premier League giants Tusker FC. Murefu believes this edition will be no different.
"Chapa Dimba is a good platform. We have around 6 players from our team who got good opportunities after they were scouted in the tournament. The most recent case was Alfred Emoni Tanui who is now in the books of Nzoia Sugar FC,"

Don't know why it didn't work for him at Posta. Good acquisition for Nzoia nonetheless, he will score goals. #FKFPL pic.twitter.com/UZrUPBz1R4
