“I thank the almighty for these accolades. I thank my Technical team and players. I commend the club management for their input. I urge my players to stay focused because this league is a marathon.”
Byekwaso helped KCCA FC to three wins in four games – They drew 1-1 with Bright Stars before beating UPDF, Arua Hill and BUL.
