That is why we must give our best and try to win every game ahead of us to remain in the title race,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>APR FC are currently leading the league table with 49 points, seven ahead of second-placed Rayon Sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe league is a very important competition for APR. I always tell the players that APR is a team for winning trophies,\u201d Froger said.<\/p>\n<p>The team will return to the field on March 8 against rivals Rayon Sports before facing Etoile de l\u2019Est in the subsequent game.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of the season, APR were in competing for five different trophies including the Super Cup, CAF Champions League, Mapinduzi Cup, the local league, and the Peace Cup. They were eliminated from all and now their only hope for silverware is in the league.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe players are ready for every game ahead of them.
