The Gaffer Morley Byekwaso spoke to www.kccafc.co.ug ahead of #KCCAONDU and said;
We need to work so hard tomorrow if we are to get maximum points against them. The past two games we have played against them were tough and this will not be any different. We know we are at home, we need to exhibit that confidence and play. We have been working on our finishing lately and we hope the lads can show that on the field of play. We have been creating many chances but not turning them into goals. We need to start scoring and this will instill confidence in the players and then they will play. We will miss Dennis Iguma who picked a hamstring injury against Onduparaka early this month but the positive is he has started training and he will soon be back playing.
