The Manager Morley Byekwaso caught up with this website ahead of #KCCAWGFC;
We have had a good pre season, and we have played a number of build up games where we have tested our new signings. Our team is ready for the challenge ahead. The team is balanced in all departments and the healthy competition among the players makes me happy. No one can doubt the quality of the players in this side and the players are hungry for success. We want to start on a high and win our game against Wakiso Giants FC and not just win but playing well. We have tried to work on our shortcomings of last season and improve the creativity and scoring of goals and I think based on the build up games, the boys have improved. All the 29 licensed players are available for the game against Wakiso Giants FC and we shall have a very good side that will represent us on match day one.
