Nsimbe clueless on SuperSport

By James Bakama

IT is just a week to KCC FC's encounter with SuperSport United, but coach George Nsimbe is clueless on the South African side's style of play.

The match will be held at Nakivubo.

Nsimbe has for the past fortnight been struggling to get SuperSport's television footage to no avail.

That the Ugandan league champions lack a TV in their Lugogo hostel, has further complicated Nsimbe's quest in getting an idea of his opponents, who are regularly televised on DStv.

On Wednesday night, KCC paid the neighbouring Police Sports Club house a visit hoping that the South African giants would be on the SuperSport channel.

The yellows' prayer was however again not answered.

KCC were instead treated to the Orlando Pirates versus Mamelodi Sundowns Absa Premiership match.

But Nsimbe, whom KCC officials have for a month promised recordings of SuperSport, is a very optimistic man.

He is confident of having got a crucial feel of South African football after watching the Orlando-Sundowns match.

"One thing I noted, is that they are very fast on the ball. That seems to be a common feature in South Africa. We shall therefore have to react accordingly," Nsimbe observed.

Meanwhile, SuperSport kept their place at the top of the Absa Premiership table with a 1-0 win over Timothy Batabaire's relegation bound Bloemfontein Celtics.

Skipper Bongani Khumalo headed home the only goal in the 14th minute.

SuperSport have won 14 times, drawn four times and have six losses in South Africa's top competition.
