Peter said he was not worried about the outcome of result but satisfied the way his boys gave a good account of themselves despite heavy loss to their opponents.

I must say that we had more scoring chances in the first half but failed to convert it. However, I am satisfied with my boys performance and I need to work on their scoring abilities before their next friendly match.
