Manager Alex Isabirye speaking to players during training

BUL Football Club set up a date with Vipers SC for Sunday’s Stanbic Uganda Cup final after knocking out Express on Thursday afternoon.

The Eastern Giants will be playing their first major final in history and they are keen to win the cup.

While addressing members of the sports media during FUFA’s special press conference at their headquarters on Friday morning, Alex Isabirye is confident his guard will complete the task at hand.

Manager Alex Isabirye said; “My team is very ready waiting to play the final,” .

“I have confidence in my players; we shall win the trophy.”

The team has only two days to rest as well as working out a plan to defang the opponents but Isabirye has discarded fears of fatigue and promised nothing short of victory.

“My opponent has had enough time to rest and even monitor our team play but that will not worry me at all.”

 “Finals are won not played, so we are going to win the game on Sunday.”

“If we can beat the regional champion Express FC, what about tiring Vipers!” Isabirye wondered

The Eastern Giants camp has been beefed up by the return of team captain Walter Ochora and forward Hamis Tibita.

Endowed Simon Peter Oketch and anchorman Richard Wandyaka will also join the fight on Sunday after sitting out of the Thursday fixture due to suspension.
