Not the season we expected
Despite winning the league title, APR FC Chairman Col. Richard Karasira insists the team should have achieved more than just the championship.
“I won’t say that the season went down the way we wished because we wanted to win every trophy that we were playing for. It didn’t go our way,” Karasira said.
