Uganda Crested Cranes players have expressed their satisfaction over the way they are being handled in residential camp at the Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU) female campus Kabojja.

A total of 26 players have today entered day four of their residential training at the University grounds, ahead of their encounter with Kenya Harambe Starlets on Wednesday next week.

Midfielder Tracy Jonnes Akiror, who has been part of the team since 2016, said they are going through the best basics in training and that there is good feeding.

Striker Zainah Namuleme who is also among the younger crop on the team said the changes in the team will help get a descent result.

‘We have lost to Kenya twice, but this time around, players and coaches on both teams have changed and from the training we have received, we are not scared about our opponents’ noted Namuleme.
