Pre-match reactions
Mike Hillary Mutebi;
We are going to Njeru with an intention to win the game. We however respect our opponents BUL FC. They have worked hard to be where they are on the table. Games against them have always been hard but we shall try our best to negotiate the tie. I think the team is playing well but all that is lacking is putting the ball in the back of the net. We shall continue to work on that with the players.
