The 2019/20 league season is one of many in the recent past that Express FC wouldn’t want to remember. A 9th place finish with 37 goals conceded tells a different story today, a better one at that especially in the goalkeeping department.

Led by Daniel Kiwanuka and Sam Kawalya, Express FC ended the first round with 7 league goals conceded, the least by any team and both former shotstoppers acknowledge it’s been resolve and hardwork.

“For me it’s been unity, the defenders and G.K’s have been working together as a department but also we’ve worked hard because we’ve always corrected the mistakes from all goals we’ve conceded (7)”.

Sam Kawalya who is also part of the department emphasized that all goalkeepers at the club have the opportunity to make the starting line up.

“All the G.Ks at the club are good but their timing is different but we train as a unit, everyone has an edge over the other, Mathias Muwanga has a better edge because of his experience”.

As the second round nears, Sam Kawalya adds that the focus is to keep the unity and hardwork.

“We shall continue to correct our first round mistakes, although we’ve conceded 7, we can reduce the number, we shall continue to work harder and as a unit,

Daniel Kiwanuka was quick to stress that the team will look at keeping more 8 clean sheets which can help the team win.

“We’re at 8 clean sheets, if we add another 8 it means we shall have reduced the leakage at the back, it also gives us the chance to win the title”.

The Red Eagles have recorded eight clean sheets in the 15 first round games played, assistant captain Mathias Muwanga has kept the most (7) with Denis Otim adding one which he earned on his debut against Police FC which was the last game of the first round. Sadat Mugenyi and Chrispus Kusiima haven’t featured yet.

Wasswa Bossa’s charges open up their second round on 3rd April 2021 at home to table leaders U.R.A F.C.
