COPA Coca-Cola: Amus coach vows to fight back

Despite making a poor stat in the COPA Coca-Cola preliminary round, Amus College coach Nimrod Kintu has vowed that his side will get back into contention.

Amus who breezed into the quarterfinal in their COPA  Coca- Cola debut in Hoima last year, registered a false start after being held 0-0 by Mulusa Academy (Luwero) on Monday before falling to 2-1 to Bulo Parents in group B encounter on Tuesday.

But coach Kintu said his team is down but not out. "There is no problem. Our players only went down . But we can get back," vowed the veteran youth coach ahead of their tie against Buyaga SS on Wednesday.

Defending champions St. Mary's SS Kitende cushioned their chances of reaching the qualifying round after beating Alere SS of Adjumani 5-0 in group C yesterday.

Vipers SC striker Pius Wanji stood out in their 9-0 rout against Kitebi Light College his second track-taking his tally to six goals.

Like Amus, Kampala giants Kawempe Muslim SS and Old Kampala SS also a rude welcome in Teso College Aloet.
