Kitara coach Ssenyondo 'mocks' and punches holes in the Obua-ball
Ssenyondo paid attention to the detail of URA head coach David Obua's possession-style of play, which has been termed by many as the “Obua-ball."
“Coach Brian looks out for us to ensure that we are all doing well, and his caring and advice motivates all the players to work hard,” he added.
Similarly, Ssenyondo could also not thank his technical team, playing staff, and management enough for the commitment shown thus far.
“I am here just as a representative of Kitara because there are very many people working behind the scenes to help us succeed.”

Obua lays question marks on two Kitara goals in URA defeat
"Two of them, maybe the third goal was a good goal, but the (first) two they scored there were questionable," Obua said in the post-match interview.
“Allow me to thank my technical team, players, cooks, media team, driver, but most importantly the club president Mr. Deo Kasozi for the great work they are all doing in their capacities.”
“It is the togetherness that has brought us this far, and hopefully we can keep the bond as we strive for our targets as a club,” Ssenyondo noted.
