Abedi out

By William Muwonge SAID Abedi who was expected to lead KCC's attack in their away CAF Cup match on Sunday, is out of the 17-man team travelling. Veteran coach David Otti named the team yesterday saying the Congolese player's temporary travel documents could not secure him a South African visa. The Congolese, his compatriot Onore Kabongo and Hamza Aliro were dropped. The trip has been boosted by sponsorship from the Kampala Mayor Ssebana Kizito and his council. KCC faces South African side Ajax Cape Town in a first round leg game at Fedsure Newlands stadium. The team leaves at 5.00am today aboard a Kenya Airways flight to Johannesburg from where it will connect to Cape Town. Otti said his team is faced with a difficult challenge but will take on the opponents as they come. "It will not be an easy game, our opponents are well organised and more motivated than us and are at home," the experienced coach said. The team: M. Byekwaso (capt), J. Nsubuga, I. Mugisha, M. Nsubuga, L. Kizito, R. Malinga, P. Ntege, K. Jalendo, W. Musika, D. Odowa, B. Senkayi, N. Juuko, A. Mayanja, B. Kiyega, F. Onyango, N. Kasule and M. Bantu. Ends
