The Manager Morley Byekwaso caught up with this website ahead of #AHSCKCCA;
We have tried to correct our mistakes from our previous fixture. We play a side that we beat at their home last season and we know we are the only league side that picked three points here. They will want to hurt us but we are ready for them. We have a very strong side that will be able to compete against the hosts. We will not have Saidi Mayanja who broke the team protocols and is serving a suspension for his indiscipline. Julius Poloto and Iguma Denis picked knocks in training and did not travel. Emma Wasswa is on compassionate leave after losing his grandfather. The rest of the players are fine but we could only travel with 20. We trust the 20 will ably represent us against Arua Hill SC.
