Talking to
one of the Vice Captains Akosemoh Theodore, he told hilltopvoices that he got
to Bamenda on Sunday in other to rest and be ready for training insinuating a
sign of leading by example. Unlike like Team Captain Kongnyuy Jude who said he
was sick during the break and did not have time for leisure, Akosemoh said he
spent some time with his family in Limbe savoring some lager and Fish from the
sea side city. Head Coach Kamgue who also returned to Bamenda on Sunday
acknowledged spending time with his family. Other players we spoke to are of
the opinion that the break was too short compared to the demands of the Second
round.

Monday June 1, fans and supporters of the Team were at the stadium to watch the
team as they resumed training. Kamgue Justin and his assistant Tugem
Jean-Baptiste answered present and immediately went to work. It was a similar
scenario on Tuesday June
2, 2015 when we visited the team in training in the Bamenda
municipal stadium. When we got to the stadium we saw two groups with one jogging
round the football pitch while another group was busy working on ball control
and space management. Yong Jack, Team President, Afumbom and others like the
president of the supporters club were present to watch particularly the new
players (some of them foreign) who have been invited to reinforce the team.
The
Challenge Ahead

After
finishing third on the unofficial classification table, YOSA according to Coach
Kamgue Justin is nursing ambitions to go as far as their ability can carry
them. This means that the team is hoping to qualify for either the CAF Champion
League or CAF Confederation Cup. This will require that they finish within the
best three teams in the league or that they win the Cup of Cameroon. During the
second round, the probability is high that the team may be playing two matches
a week hence such ambitions must be backed by the right quality of players.
Talking to hilltopvoices Kamgue Justin confirmed he is working with the team’s
management to get new players. 17 league matches and a possibility of playing
to the nearest 10 Cup matches he added is no small challenge.
