REACTIONS.

Wasswa Bbosa – Head Coach.

“After our away win against Busoga FC, we returned and focused on our home against Kitara FC, they’re a decent team, our history with them shows it’s not an easy game, we’ve lost to them twice in the Uganda cup previously and also we won the first leg but it was tight so we’ve prepared well for the game, Kitara comes here to try and stay in the league while we’re looking at winning and stay top of the table so just like the remaining games, we’re taking it seriously”.
