“And we shall continue keep discipline, we very well know what indiscipline did to us, it costed us a trophy, by now we would be having 18 trophies, so we promise to keep discipline at all times. 

The club’s CEO, William Nkemba also thanked Linglong Executive Director for supporting the club as well as sparing time to visit Uganda and SC Villa in particular.
