We showed character, the personality and the quality that we have.”Baros also highlighted the contribution of the entire team, including the midfielders who have been supplying the forwards.“The strikers are doing well, and the midfielders are providing those balls. As you know, Martha is a midfielder, and the whole team is contributing.”Why Wrexham coach blamed Harambee Stars prospect, teammates for Birmingham defeatFor Police Bullets, the final represents another opportunity to go one step further after finishing runners-up in the 2024 qualifiers.Kawempe Muslim, meanwhile, are appearing in the zonal qualifiers for only the second time and have already secured a historic first appearance in the final.
