www.kccafc.co.ug caught up with the Manager Morley Byekwaso and he had this to say;
We face a very good side in Mbarara City. They have a very good home record against us. We have not beat them at Kakyeeka in three games we have played here.
We want to break the jinx and pick three points here. The players have to be very ready for the challenge that lies ahead and come to the party.
This game is the first of our two back to back away games and we want it to give us the rhythm ahead of our next encounter.
