Pre-match reactions
Mike Hillary Mutebi;
We want to get back to winning ways. The result against Tooro United was disappointing but i was impressed with my players. They gave their all but it just was not meant to be. But the positive is the progress is good. The new players we brought are gelling well and this is good. The fact is there is going to be a reaction against Brightstars on Saturday and we want to get back to winning ways.

As players we were disappointed against Tooro and we want to react to that result on Saturday. We want to win because when i came here i found a winning culture. The players are not used to losing games so when they do it does not go down well with them. You could tell with the mood after the loss in mid week. But now we know we have a task at hand to make ammends against Brightstars.
