KCCA FC co-coach Jackson Magera is optimism his side will overcome newcomers Calvary
“The victory against Express was a massive confidence booster, but that is behind us now. Our focus is completely on the task at hand against Calvary FC. They are a newly promoted side that just picked up a valuable away point against Maroons. However, we are playing at home, and the fans deserve to see us get our first home win of the season. If we stick to our tactical plan, maintain discipline, and show the same fighting spirit we did in the derby, I am optimistic that we shall be able to overcome Calvary FC and secure all three points.” Said Magera
