“I recommend the boys for our consistency it’s a good motivation.

All we want are the 3 points and give the happiness of our fans at home.” Vipers head coach Roberto Oliviera.

Last season at kitende, the jogoos were taken for lessons in a 3-0 thriller courtesy of Cesar Manzoki’s brace and Yunus Sentamu’s goal.
