We have also improved on our strong points. It’s a tough assignment but not impossible. This is a resilient team and based on our preparations, the girls have shown a great display of character, and I believe we are ready for Uganda,” he said.From the well-organized build-up to the perfect execution of the goal…This is a goal worth reminiscing.#RisingStarlets#Tunaweza pic.twitter.com/g0jZeqQ6Ou— Harambee Starlets (@StarletsKE) September 28, 2021 Both Kenya and Uganda got a bye to the second round, and the overall winner between these two teams will face off in the third round with the winner between Mozambique and South Africa, with Uganda having one foot in with the first leg away win.In the other clash, South Africa edged out Mozambique 1-0 away and carry the advantage as they head into the return leg.Rising Starlets are set to leave for Uganda next week on Tuesday 5 October to prepare sufficiently for their do-or-die match against the Crested Cranes three days later.##EDITORS_CHOICE##
