What the Coaches Say Ahead of the Final:
Kibuuka Morgan Samuel : Coach – Rays of Grace
‘It was a tight semifinal but the boys gave their best especially in implementing the instructions and that’s why we won. We’re now heading into the final to face a team we lost to in our opening game but that loss was a wakeup call for us. We haven’t lost a match since then, right up to the final. We’ve worked on our mistakes and we’re looking forward to the challenge.’
Lwanga Samuel: Coach – St. Mary’s Primary School
‘It was a tough semifinal against Oasis as they gave us a hard time with their style of play, which focuses on ball placement something my boys aren’t used to. However, I’m glad we managed to secure a spot in the final.
We’re facing Rays of Grace again, a team we beat 5-1 in the opening game. However, we won’t be complacent because I’m sure they’ll come with a different game plan this time. We’re ready for them and looking forward to bringing the trophy home.’
