Steve Barker Insists Simba Still in Title Race Ahead of JKT Tanzania Clash

Simba head coach Steve Barker has insisted that his team has not given up on the NBC Premier League title race, despite trailing league leaders Yanga by five points.

Barker emphasized that there are still 30 points available to fight for, making it crucial for his side to avoid dropping points in the remaining matches.

"We still have a chance. There are 30 points to play for, so the important thing for us is to make sure we perform well in every match."

"We will focus on each game individually, and right now our attention is on the upcoming match against JKT Tanzania."

"It will be a tough match against JKT Tanzania, as they have a good coach and players with strong fighting spirit."

"We must focus on our tactics and plans to ensure we continue performing well, starting with the match against JKT Tanzania tomorrow," said Barker.

The match between Simba and JKT Tanzania will be played tomorrow, Wednesday at 12:15 PM, just three days after Simba’s 2-2 draw against Yanga at Isamuhyo Stadium.
