Bamweyana reacts after Wakiso Giants' seventh draw in UPL

Wakiso Giants head coach Douglas Bamweyana is content with a draw away in the Ugandan Premier League game against Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) at the Arena of Visions.

The Purple Sharks had hoped to disappoint the Tax Collectors by collecting maximum points, but it was not the case. They ended up recording their seventh draw of the on-going campaign.

"It was a very tough game and I think the boys did well," Bamweyana conceded after the game.

"They are tough opponents and it was a tough game away from home. They contained most of the things they threw at us, their direct approach and long balls, I felt we dealt with them well."

The tactician has further explained where he felt the Purple Sharks struggled and ended up sharing the spoils with their hosts.

"I felt we let ourselves down in a few areas where we could have probably had more control and covered some of the gaps," Bwameyana continued.

"Overall, I felt we deserved to win but there were some very important calls that went against us but there is nothing we can do about that. We take the draw but I don’t think it is the result we would have wanted or deserved but given the situation, I think we can say we take the point." 

The team is placed in the 10th position with as many points from eight games.
