www kccafc.co.ug spoke with the KCCA FC Manager Morley Byekwaso ahead of #KCCAMBR and had this to say;
We are very prepared for the game against Mbarara City FC. We are facing a stubborn side in Mbarara City FC that has good players but my team gives me confidence and hope that they can fight and pick three points at home. We are not yet where we want to be and we have had an honest conversation with the players about it. We need to get more clinical in front of goal and burry the chances we create.
