I’m looking forward to win more matches as long as players also play their role".

Lubwama George, a staunch supporter of the Purple Sharks in an interview said, "I congratulate our coach Steven Bengo for the love and togetherness that he managed to instill in the players and fans that has been lacking. This is what made us secure three crucial points from Busoga United. He has managed to boost the morale of the players and we as fans have a lot of hope in him."
