“It is a big game for us but as Buddu, we have had good preparations to see that we end the day Victorious. We respect Busiro who had their own path to reach this stage. We also had our path to storm the final so I expect a very nice game.” said Ibrahim Kirya.
For Busiro, coach Simon Peter Mugerwa is hopefully to help Busiro clinch their first ever Masaza Cup trophy having lost their first final appearance against Bulemeezi in 2019.
“This is a good opportunity and second bite on the cherry. We are going to go all out to see that we win the title.”said coach Simon Peter Mugerwa.
