REACTIONS.

Wasswa Bossa – Head Coach.

“We’ve prepared well following our 1-1 draw at home to Mbarara City (last Saturday), we now play away to Bright Stars a team I’d call stubborn because they have a sqaud of young players with a good coach but our focus now is to improve on our performance having done two consecutive draws, the boys know our focus is to win the game and keep close in the title race, we’ve worked on our finishing and defending our set pieces better”.

Enoch Walusimbi – Team captain.

“Ahead of tomorrow’s game away to Bright Stars, our focus is on winning, as a team we’re happy that Murushid Juuko’s return from suspension, it gives us more confidence but I also know I’ll be facing my former side however my focus will be on helping the team get three points”.

A win for the Red Eagles will take them to 40 points in third place.
