Mental strength key for BUL FC in Jinja derby

Oct 31, 2016

The much anticipated derby has been going JMC Hippos FC's way recently

Following their inconsistent run of results that has seen them only register one win so far this season , BUL FC head coach Frank 'Video' Anyau has called on his players to show mental and physical strength to register their first ever win in a competitive match against their fierce local neighbours JMC Hippos FC at Kakindu stadium on Wednesday .

The mouthwatering clash sees both sides who were impressive last season at the wrong side of the table with JMC Hippos FC still winless at rock bottom  with 4 points, 3 below their neighbours .

The much anticipated derby has been going JMC Hippos FC's way recently, however Anyau feels that his players have got to lift up their mental strength to win this all important tie .

"Derby matches are the most difficult ones to win but I have told my players to have their heads, tempo and mind up if they are to pick
three points from this match . We have to forget about the history of this match and focus on combining pressure , physical and mental strength if we are to win this one and start winning matches,"said Anyau .

His opposite number George Lutalo is equally well prepared for the derby match.

"My team may be young and producing so many bad results but this one against JMC Hippos FC really boils up the adrenaline of my players . They know whom they are up against and they have told me in training that they love playing their hearts out against BUL FC,"said Lutalo.
