BUL FC will be aiming to continue with their perfect start when they welcome URA FC at Njeru Technical centre on Tuesday.
The oil manufacturers are currently second placed on the Uganda Premier league log having won their opening five fixtures against Bright Stars, KCCA FC, Arua Hill, Maroons and most recently at SC Villa.
URA FC managed two wins and three draws in their first five games this term.
Abbey Kikomeko asserts that their brilliant start is due to hard work and is optimistic his charges will maintain it
“The good form we are having is not a mere happening, we have fought for it and we shall continue to fight hard to see that we maintain it. The boys are in high gear as every game we play is a final, that is why we’re still unbeaten, we don’t look at losing, we play to win,” he said.
“We won against SC Villa in our last match, a game that wasn’t easy. Now we play URA who drew in their last outing.”
“It is going to be a tough game against us though. We played and even defeated them in the super eight final but this time we are going to play competing for points and I think we are going to put in whatever it takes to get the three points given that we are at home.”
“We shall fight hard to get the points as much as they will also want them.” Said Kikomeko
Fred Muhumuza also believes his payers can end BUL FC’s 100% start incase they perfect things
We are trying to rectify on how we can score goals. The positivity we have had is that we are scoring goals despite conceding.”
“We have suffered due to lapses in the backline more so in the last phase of the game. But we have on that and am sure the backline will stand better as we call upon our forwards to score more goals.”
“We are trying to get maximum points so that we keep in the range. We are not worried but we are attentively looking at whatever is happening. So we need to do things better and get good results.” Said Muhumuza
