This is a big step for us,\u201d said him.<\/p>\n<p>Kagere still leads the scoring chart in the Mainland Premier League with 19 goals. The Ugandan born Rwandese striker is determined to retain his scoring boot for the second season in a row after achieving that last season, in which he scored 23 goals.<\/p>\n<p>This means from the 63 goals that Simba have so far netted in the top flight league this season, the Rwandan striker has contributed 19 goals more than any other player in the Reds squad.<\/p>\n<p>Kagere is eight goals ahead of two domestic players who are closely chasing him. They are Namungo\u2019s Reliant Lusajo and Yusuph Mhilu of Kagera Sugar, who have netted 11 goals each.<\/p>\n<p>As the action in the league is set to resume soon, Simba look set to defend the title as they continue to cling at the summit of the 20-team table with 71 points from 28 outings.<\/p>\n<p>Mathematically, Simba just need to bag extra 15 points from their remaining 10 games to hit 86 points to be declared the season&#8217;s champions since no other club below them can surpass the 86-point mark even if they win all their remaining games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"news\">\n<div class=\"item\">\n<div class=\"item-image-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Tanzania: SIMBA SC yesterday refuted claims that they have received offers from DR Congo&#8217;s TP Mazembe and Spain&#8217;s Levante FC, seeking services of Jonas Mkude and Meddie Kagere respectively.
