The Gaffer Morley Byekwaso spoke to www.kccafc.co.ug ahead of #KCCASBS and said;
Our targets have never changed. We want to win the League and Uganda Cup. The players, technical and management are all focused on this and that is the goal. It is a bit worrying that our forwards are not scoring but we have handed the responsibility to each and every player to score. We have taken them through drills that enable each and everyone to score goals when handed a goal scoring opportunity. Anaku, Mwirusi and Poloto are back and we shall asses them in the last training. Iguma is back and will make the squad, Kaddu will miss this game but will most likely be back for the next game against Express
