Byekwaso was full of praise for the team as he emphasized the tactical discipline with the need to seek for goals going forward.
‘We thank God that the match was well played and no injuries got. I thank the players who endured the high temperatures to soldier on. We are now heading for the second build up as we continue to prepare for the CECAFA senior challenge cup. We shall put several grey areas right’ Byekwaso disclosed.
