    COACH’S CORNER

    Head Coach Alex Isabirye:
    “We respect Lugazi. They beat us in Najjembe last time and held us in Njeru, so we know what to expect. The boys are ready, the preparations have been good, and we want to maintain our winning run.

    Their coach was our former coach here and he was my assistant at Busoga United so l respect him so much and his one of the best coaches in the league but depending on the preparations we have made, we shall come out victorious.”
