UGANDA gets a chance to add the U-17 CECAFA title to their Challenge Cup victory by the senior side when they take on Eritrea here tonight.

U-17 coach Richard Wasswa has asked his team not to keep their fans on their toes the way they did in a penalty shoot-out victory over Tanzania in the semi-final.

Wasswa hopes to maintain his main weapon, thehigh paced striking duo of Dan Sserunkuuma, Julius Senoga and Mohammed Abdallah to tame the towering and elegant Eritreans.

Eritrea’s tactician Negash Teklit intends to change his formation to remove the goal scoring burden from lone striker Mohammed Asuman. Mohammed Juma is expected to partner him.

Champions will win $ 15,000, runner up $10,000.
