NAMBOOLE – URA FC will host Bright Stars in one of the four StarTimes Uganda Premier League games on Thursday afternoon.
The Tax Collectors have been in fine form of late that has seen them move into third on the standings.
In their last six games, URA have won four and drawn two and are currently the most in-form side in the division.
“We are determined and want to win tomorrow’s game, says URA Captain Shafik Kagimu.
“We have 5 games left and we can’t afford to lose any of these.
Bright Stars are responsible for URA’s exit from the Uganda Cup at the round of 16 and for URA, it will be sort of a revenge mission.”Bright Stars eliminated us from the Uganda Cup which was painful.
“We are going to reduce on the mistakes we made last time.
However, it is easier said than done as Bright Stars will be no pushovers.
After a trying period that saw them go 12 League games minus victory, Bright Stars look to be on course to recovery as they have won two of their last four games.
Currently seated in 11th, Fred Kajoba’s side know that they have performed poorly this season and a strong finish is one that would be relished in Matuga.
