REACTIONS.

Wasswa Bbosa – Head Coach.

“Our preparations have gone on well ahead of the new league season starting on Friday, we have a few injuries in Godfrey Lwesibawa (knee), Arthur Kiggundu and Kiragga Mustapha but the rest are available for selection. Following our last game (Vs BUL in the Uganda Cup) we’ve managed to correct our mistakes but also allow our players to rest, right now they’re fine and I am sure they’ll put up a show begining with the first game on Friday because they’re focused. Last season we didn’t lose any game at home and that’s the same target we have this time around”.

Head Coach Wasswa Bbosa.

Defender/Captain – Enock Walusimbi.

“On Friday we return to league action to face Arua Hill FC, it’s a new team but a decent one. The boys are ready, we have a few injuries but whoever is selected is ready to give their all, our exits in the CAF Champions League and the Uganda Cup helped us to correct our mistakes and we shall definitely start well. Individually I am glad that I managed to make the Uganda Cranes team in the recent FIFA 2022 World Cup qualifiers so I hope to use the experience to help the team”.
