Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The brunt of the energy-sapping travels and gruelling matches is what Bul bring into today\u2019s Stanbic Uganda Cup quarterfinal return match against Proline at the Kyabazinga Stadium, Bugembe.<\/p>\n

Even when they have a healthy 2-0 first-leg lead, Alex Isabirye is wary that the fixture pile has taken its toll on his players.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played Proline on Friday just days after we went to Kabale to face Kigezi Home Boys on Tuesday. The Saturday before we had faced Onduparaka and Wakiso Giants three days earlier,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n

Isabirye, who won the Uganda Cup with URA in 2012 and Victoria University in 2013, is convinced his team is ready for the task at hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven with limited recovery time, I\u2019m glad we didn\u2019t concede for the first time in six games. That said, we had a chance of scoring about four goals and reduce the pressure in the return leg,\u201d said the caretaker coach, who was recruited last month to stop the free-fall under Arthur Kyesimira\u2019s tutelage.<\/p>\n

The former SC Villa and Uganda Cranes forward says his work in interim basis is cut out \u2013 restoring team consistency, reawakening the desire to win and gaining a competitive mentality.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to see an improved fighting character in the team, \u2018\u2019 he said. \u201cI will try to compete for the Uganda Cup trophy although management didn\u2019t ask it as a must to sign a permanent contract.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cup solaceBul\u2019s best shot at the Uganda Cup was a semifinal finish in the 2014-15 season when they lost to SC Villa. Today, the struggling team will be looking to achieve the same feat.<\/p>\n

Bul are 11th in the Uganda Premier League table with 30 points from 26 matches. Isabirye has won four games out of eight, three of them in the Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won 2-0 but we have to work harder [today] because we are facing the holders. But I can say that the team is in good shape after registering a good run of late and look hungrier,\u201d Isabirye added.<\/p>\n

Proline\u2019s Anthony Bongole harbours hopes that his team can go to Jinja and replicate what Bul did at Lugogo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are still very much in contention. We can also go to Jinja and do what they did at Lugogo or even better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
