Moments after their first win of the season, Mawokota Ssaza head coach Richard Malinga expressed confidence his side is in the right shape to clinch the 2023/24 Masaza Cup title.

That was after Mawokotaโ€™s 3-1 victory over defending champions Busiro on Saturday, in the opening game held at the Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku.

โ€œI am very happy to have won the game which is memorable and historical, ” he said.

Despite conceding first after Akram Muzanyi put Busiro ahead through a penalty, Mawokota remained composed and turned things around.

They then netted through Kisolo John Innocent, Abubaker Mayanja, and Emayo Calvin Peter to get off to a flying start.

โ€œMany things happened in the previous 3 seasons but this is a season of change with a new Mawokota to win it again.โ€

โ€œWe have won only one match but 9 games to go, so we have to get focused till we bring it back home,โ€ he said.

They will be seeking a fourth Masaza Cup title having won it in 2005, 2007, and 2013.
