“I’m glad that I have guided Namagabi S.S to their third consecutive title. I didn’t impart many skills in the players, I only instilled confidence and courage in them which they have been able to transfer onto the sand to win the title” Namagabi S.S Coach and Kayunga Town Council Beach Soccer Player Hamim Ssemakula remarked.
