www.kccafc.co.ug caught up with the Manager Morley Byekwaso and he had this to say;

Morley Byekwaso

We want to get back to winning ways. We face a tough team in Police. We need to bounce back after losing back to back games in the league at home.

We have psyched up as a unit and we need to focus and face the challenges ahead.

We need to be more clinical in front of goal and limit wasting many chances.

We need to pick lessons from the past games and use that kind of experience going forward.

Police is an offensive team just like us and this is likely to be an affair of who is more clinical in front of goal.

Morley Byekwaso speaking ahead of #POLKCCA
