REACTIONS.

JAMES ODOCH – INTERIM MANAGER.

“We’re done with our last training ahead of our game against KCCA FC on Thursday, we’ve used this period to correct our mistakes which we had in our last game away against Busoga United FC. KCCA FC are comfortable on the ball so we’ve worked more on the pressing because KCCA FC are good with the ball so i believe we’re ready to get maximum points”.

ENOCK WALUSIMBI – CAPTAIN/DEFENDER.

“Tomorrow we have a big game at home against KCCA FC but we’ve had a long break to correct our mistakes which we’ve done well, we have to be able to create chances and score as many goals for us to win the game but we respect them well and know they’re a good team”.

The game kicks off at 4pm live on Sanyuka TV.
