The Manager Morley Byekwaso caught up with this website ahead of game day 25 and had this to say;
We need to approach this game with big intent. If the players can exhibit the confidence they had in the previous game against UPDF FC then we can be unplayable. We are taking it one game at a time and what is most important is the immediate game ahead of us. Kaddu is back in training and he will have to undergo a late fitness test. Juma Ibrahim picked a knock on his back and will miss the game. The rest of the available squad is ready to fight for a win.
