Team manager Mike Hillary Mutebi has labelled the game against Bright stars “a must win” affair for KCCA and believes there is no more room for error.
It is not going to be an easy game given the fact that Bright stars have had a bad spell and would want to also redeem themselves but for us the game is a must win. We have tried to rectify the mistakes we have made in the last games and focus now is to make sure we win tomorrow,”
The manager said in a pre- match press briefing on Monday, he also believes the match against Bright Stars will give them a hint on whether they’ve addressed their shortcomings or not.
The performances we have had in the previous games have not been satisfactory enough but I think tomorrow’s game will be a spring board for us to start another winning run
