Police FC assistant coach Ahmed Olimi says they are not giving up despite a poor run of results as they visit Mbarara City on Thursday in the Uganda Premier League.
After topping the table at one stage, Police FC have since slipped out of the title contenders and currently sit seventh on the 16-team log.
The club has only one victory to show in their last six games and come into this fixture on the back of two straight defeats against NEC and Express.
“We have not been doing well recently in this second round because we have picked up a couple of injuries and suspensions,” Ahmed Olimi commented.
“But we are not giving up, and we are ready to get a good result against Mbarara City.”
Police will miss goalkeeper Mathias Muwanga with a shoulder imjury while Daniel Otto, Ivan Eyam and Derrick Maviri did not travel.
