The Manager Morley Byekwaso caught up with this website ahead of #KCCAVIP had this to say;
It will definitely be a tough game. We know we have the home advantage and we have to use it. They are coming to our home and we need to make it very difficult for them here. We were close in the first leg and they snatched a point at the end of the game but that is in the past. They are table leaders and have a nine point gap, we know if we are to cut their lead then we have to win against them. – Morley Byekwaso
