\nAfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> KAGERA Sugar Head Coach, Mecky Maxime has boasted his team will upset Young Africans in an eagerly awaited Mainland Premier League clash at the Kaitaba Stadium in Bukoba today.<\/p>\n

Maxime told the \u2018Daily News\u2019 in an interview that they have the ability to repeat what they did in the first round of the league, when they collected maximum three points by silencing Yanga SC 3-0 at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy charges are in top form and have been training hard for the match. We are well prepared to face Yanga. Football fans should turn up in thousands to cheer our team.\u00a0\u201cWe promise them to see a well-balanced match. We expect it will be a tough match but we are confident of emerging victorious. Our target is to finish among the best three teams at the end of the league season,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Industrious attacker Yusuf Muhilu, the leading scorer in Kagera Sugar squad with 13 goals will be a man to watch as he will be looking to add more goals. Kevin Sabato, who scored a hat-trick against Singida United, will also add impetus on the Kagera forward line.<\/p>\n

A contingent of 25 Yanga players and officials arrived in Bukoba on Sunday and are training hard at Ntungamo Major Seminary, about five kilometres from Bukoba town.<\/p>\n

Last week, Yanga outclassed Kagera Sugar with a 2-1 victory in the quarterfinal clash of Azam Sports Federation Cup (ASFC) in a hotly contested match at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam that saw referee Shomari Lawi getting a three month’s suspension.<\/p>\n

In almost every corner in Bukoba Municipality traders were making quick money by selling Yanga jerseys. Meanwhile, Yanga yesterday gave kudos to the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) for dragging back their match against Kagera Sugar set today.<\/p>\n

Initially, the match was scheduled tomorrow at the same venue but the football governing body decided to reschedule it so as to enable Yanga have ample time of preparations ahead of their Sunday traditional derby match versus Simba SC.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me take this opportunity to thank TFF for rescheduling our match because it will give us enough time to prepare well against Simba on Sunday,\u201d said club\u2019s Head of Communication Hassan Bumbuli.<\/p>\n

Adding, Bumbuli said the arrival of Bernard Morrison in the squad will help to add momentum in their today’s match against Kagera Sugar.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring our past match against Biashara United, we had many injuries which were recorded something which compelled the coach to seek the services of Morrison, who was left in the city,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bumbuli disclosed that Haruna Niyonzima who limped off prematurely against Biashara United on Sunday due to injury is responding well to treatment.<\/p>\n

On his part, the club’s Vice-Chairman Fredrick Mwakalebela hailed the reception they received in Bukoba, saying it has given them more energy to fight hard today.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo say the truth, we were surprised with the big turnout of our fans at the airport and they should come in big numbers tomorrow (today) to rally behind their team,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also said the arrival of Morrison has brought morale in the squad, while believing that they have nothing to lose.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team is now complete even though we will miss the services of captain Papy Tshishimbi and Mapinduzi Balama but what we have now is promising,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A recent 2-1 win by Yanga in the semifinals of ASFC against Kagera Sugar was criticised by pundits saying it was biased hence the hosts have another opportunity to prove their abilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
