Entebbe

As Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) FC coach Moses Basena swiftly turns his attention to his club’s first league match of the new season, he can not help but wonder how his team failed to lift the Cecafa title.

The 2007 losing finalists matched that performance in Kigali last year by contriving to concede two late goals after leading for so long thanks to a first half Martin Muwanga strike.

“I must say that I am very satisfied with the team’s display. But it’s so cruel to lose a final which we dominated for 70 minutes,” Basena said on arrival at Entebbe Airport yesterday.

The coach was however keen to pick on the positives of the tournament. “I am very comfortable with the team I have here and I’m not planning on buying other players. We can go into the season with a lot of confidence and, hopefully will return to the (Cecafa) championship soon,” he stated.

“We dominated the tournament in Tanzania and were easily the best team.” Basena added that URA wants to keep winger Dan Wagaluka but will not block his path if there are offers on the table.

“I can only confirm that a European club wants him but that’s all I can say for now,” Basena said without naming the interested club.
