The defender stressed the importance of staying sharp and taking chances.
“We just need to stay focused and make the most of our chances.”

Assistant Coach Sharon Kizza: – The team is improving and ready for Rines.
Assistant coach Sharon Kiiza praises the team’s positive progress so far, noting that four points from the first two matches is a good start.
“So far, the team’s progress has been encouraging. From the two games we’ve played, we’ve managed to collect four points, which is a positive start. However, this round we’ve worked on improving our organization and mentality as a team. We always remind our players that it’s not over until the final whistle.”
She highlighted how important their comeback win in the last game was.
“Coming from behind in our previous game and managing to score the winning goal was very important for us as a technical team, especially since we were playing at home. We truly appreciate the ladies for their hard work and fighting spirit.”
Looking ahead to the Rines game, Kizza expressed confidence in the team’s readiness and mindset.
“Heading into the Rines game, the team is ready and eager. The players are motivated and focused on securing maximum points. We have a few minor knocks, but nothing serious, so we expect everyone to be available and ready to play.”
This upcoming match might also mark Marrion Amangati’s League debut as she has been away for a period after her star performance in the CAF Women’s Champions League CECAF Zonal Qualifers.
