\u201cThis gives us too much confidence to approach the final with strength and a winning mentality.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur opponents are one of the strongest teams in the competition and having played in the final in the last edition and lost to Uganda Christian University they will come all out to win it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we also have our motive and we should carry ourselves positively and as per the preparations we are ready for the game on Saturday,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

To reach the final, Kisuze’s charges finished top of Group E with 12 points after winning four games and drawing twice.<\/p>\n

In the quarterfinals, they eliminated Bugema University 3-2 on aggregate, the first leg ended 1-1 in Bugema before Uganda Martyrs won the second leg 2-1 in Nkozi.<\/p>\n
