This will be the second consecutive campaign when BUL get onto this stage after winning their last semi-final 1-0 against Express FC, a game that was played behind closed doors at the Njeru Technical Center.

The club has been in stable form with only one loss in their last eight games in the League which has put them 5th on the Log. In their last Cup game, they beat The Jogoos away at Njeru in a game where BUL FC didn’t look good on the day but managed to grab a win.

Richard Kasule, BUL FC assistant coach in the press conference at FUFA House said that his team’s strategy is not to concede away and finish it at home.

This is the second time for us to reach the Semifinal. Last time we advanced up to the final. We are set for the encounter against Booma FC.

Our strategy tomorrow is not to concede away from home and at least score a goal in the encounter and hope to finish the game at home. Football is a game and not a walk over so we have to be very cautious about our opponents.

They have come along way, they have conceded the least goals in the game and it won’t be an easy game but we believe we shall have the last laugh.’

On the other hand, first time semifinalist Booma FC is ready to take on last season’s  Stanbic Uganda Cup finalists Bul FC.

This is the first regional side to make it to this stage In the history of the competition. The side has scored nine goals in the competition four of the nine coming from their game against Nyamitoboora FC in the round of 64 stage of the tournament.

Speaking to the press at FUFA House on Monday, the head coach Fred Alinaitwe aka. Kajambiya is confident that his team is not going to defend but to attack and make sure that they score.

We are so happy to reach the semifinals for the first time and it’s an achievement for the club. We respect BUL FC since they are a topflight division side but our journey has not been easy and we have faced a lot of challenges.

This is also another test for us but we are determined to write more history by reaching the final of the competition.

We are an organized team and ready to face any side in the competition we are not going to defend, we are to attack and make sure that we score more goals to prevail to the final.
