FOOTBALL URA Coach Timbe dead
URA FC head coach Sam Timbe has been declared dead, at the age of 69, the club has confirmed.
“It is important to work with victories. It gives us some motivation,” Traguil said ahead of Sunday’s game.
“Regarding our opponents, if they see that we are losing, they won’t fear us. If our opponents see that we are winning, if we win the Super 8 then the Super Cup to come, we will try to beat Vipers that won the league last season, that is mental advantage for us,” he added.
KCCA’s last piece of silverware was in 2019 when they lifted the CECAFA Kagame Cup in Kigali, Rwanda, and Traguil has been brought in to steady the ship and return trophies to Lugogo.

FOOTBALL Uganda Premier League: First 10 fixtures you cannot afford to miss
Rogers Mato's sole goal won it for the Kasasiro Boys last season, but it was Milton Karisa's late strike in the second-round fixture that pretty much handed Vipers the title.
“The people who scout our team will look at what we are doing, and if they see that we are winning, then it’s a mental advantage for us because they will know that this is a winning team.”
Tough test
Against URA, KCCA will face their toughest thus far.
Wins over Kakamega Home Boyz and Wakiso Giants in a friendly and the Super 8, respectively, have left fans excited by Traguil’s methods.

FOOTBALL Enock Walusimbi is keen on thriving at URA FC
Walusimbi, 24, who is one of at least ten new signings at URA FC ahead of the new season, is hoping to make it count, putting behind his short, unsuccessful spell at Scottish second-division side Peterhead FC last season.
But they come up against a URA side that has recruited well in the transfer market.
Shariph Kimbowa, Moses Aliro and Denis Otim are some of the players who have joined the Tax Collectors.
The Tax Collectors have a good record against KCCA and picked four points off the Kasasiro Boys last season, drawing 1-1 at Lugogo and winning 2-0 in Lugazi.
