The boss has named a very changed line up to play against Bright Stars at Wankulukuku. He has made 8 changes from the team that played against Bright Stars on Sunday in the Uganda Cup semifinal first leg at Mwererwe.

Hamis Batega who has not played a single minute since coach Sim took over the reigns has been handed his first start.

Sadiq Ssekyembe played the second half against Vipers at Kitende and had not featured since then. He will start today in left back position.

Lubega Charles and John Revita are the other players who complete the back four in front of goalkeeper Mathias Muwanga. Revita captains the side.

The midfield three include, Ibrahim Kayiwa, Pius Mbidde and Lawrence Kigonya. Kayiwa will play ahead of Pius and Lawrence who will be protecting the back four.

Ocholit will start for the first time under Coach Sim after a few substitute appearances. The youngster signed by the club in January from Wembley will lead the line. The other two in attack are Tony Odur and Joel Male. Male started the first two games under Coach Sim but has been out of favour of recent.

The coach has however named a strong bench.
Ronald Mutebi will be the keeper waiting on the bench.
Shafic Kakeeto, Disan Galiwango, Michael Birungi, Brian Umony, Billy Nkata and Davis Mayanja will be waiting from the bench.

Galiwango is starting from the bench for the first time this season.
