According to Coach Ridley Jacobs, it’s a ‘work in progress’ and believes that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Jacobs is confident that the team will perform creditably in the upcoming tournament and is beseeching the fans to maintain faith in the team and continue to support and encourage the players.
