The team is progressing well but we have a task to win against Bright Stars FC who have won their last two games at our ground. We welcome Usama and Magambo back to the squad after missing the last games due to school commitments and illness respectively. We will also miss Iguma and Obenchan and most likely Herbert Achai. Anaku is also a doubt but we trust that whoever we have available for the game will help the team achieve its objectives.
