SUPL Match Day 11:
12 -Dec- 2023
Kitara Vs Express FC
4pm
Masindi stadium
Kitara host Express FC at Masindi stadium on Tuesday, 12 December where they will be hoping to make amends for their loss to Vipers last week.
Jude Ssemugabi’s goal for the Royals was not enough to give Brian Ssenyondo’s side victory over the Venoms, instead it left them fourth on the log stretching the gap between the two sides to 4 points.
The Royals are expected to exhibit a fired up performance against Express and playing at home provides an ideal opportunity to erase the bitter taste of the Kitende loss.
“We fought hard in our previous match but it was not enough as we didn’t get the results we wanted. It was frustrating though we hope to play better, utilize our chances and make our fans happy later today,” Jasper Aheebwa Baguma, the assistant captain emphasized.
With Maroons, SC Villa ,URA and others breathing heavily down our neck, another slip up would hinder our top four hopes thus the Express FC should not be taken lightly.
