First of all I want that Allah that I am here speaking to you, you very well know my story and how I have had a start and stop career but I am grateful that I am able to kick a ball again.
I want to thank the manager for the trust and belief he has shown towards me and given me a chance.Jurua Hassan on his return

We are fine and ready ahead of the return leg. We had safe travels and the boys are ready to finish the job here in Mbarara. It will not be an easy game given the fact that they play physical football and are used to their ground which is not that comfortable for us.
We will play with caution because we know the kind of threat they possess.
