Mumin, speaking at full time, revealed that the long hours of travel took a toll on his team. He stated, “I think it was a good game.”
“We started slowly like you said, and I will attribute it to fatigue. We traveled a long distance, and where we were resting, there was more or less a jamboree there. So, it took the better part of the night, and we couldn’t rest well.”
The defeat marked RTU’s fourth loss in six games, leaving them in 14th position with 14 points on the league standings.
