Morley Byekwaso

We have trained so well and we know our opponent so well, we need to get back to winning ways as we have not won in our last three games. They knocked us out of the Uganda Cup last year and we know the kind of threat they possess but we have made corrections since then. A win will motivate us and we know we need to get back to our winning ways. We will miss Ayella, Wabyoona, Obenchan due to injury. Majwega is also ill and will not play. Mustafa Kizza is back and he will feature in the quarter finals.
