KCCA FC optimistic they will make a killing out of newly promoted youngsters

StarTimes Uganda Premier League champions, KCCA FC are optimistic they will make a killing out of the five youngsters promoted to the senior team.

In 2017, the Lugogo based side announced the promotion of six youngsters to the senior team including Julius Poloto, Allan Okello, Hebert Achai, Peter Magambo, and Mustapha Kizza and these have proved to be a force to reckon with in the team.

Speaking during the promotion of another set of youngsters, KCCA FC tactician Mike Mutebi said he optimistic the young blood will give a good account of themselves in the senior team.

“We can keep close attention to their performance to see how they fare. They have grown up with a winning mentality right from the junior league and that is why they are promoted to the senior team,”Mutebi said on Tuesday.

He hopes that the winning mentality adopted from the junior league will be kept by the boys as they ply their trade for the senior Kasasiro boys team.

Mutebi said he would have loved to take with him the newly promoted youngsters to Kigali where the senior team is going for the CECAFA –Kagame cup but said they will preparing for the senior six exams.

Allan Okello, the yardstick
