Timbe lauds Begesa, Alionz's impact after Bright Stars win

URA FC head coach Sam Timbe has expressed his satisfaction with right-back James Begesa and goalkeeper Nafian Alionz, also club captain following his side's 2-0 win over Soltilo Bright Stars on Saturday.

The Tax collectors bounced back from defeat when they picked three points on the road at Kavumba Recreation Grounds; Ibrahim Dada opened the scoring before Kabon Living doubled the lead, his second in as many games from 12 yards.

Timbe says the return of James Begesa and goalkeeper Nafian Alionz who have both been on national team duty, was a massive boost to the team's performance on Saturday.

"It was tough because we had made a few changes to the team; however, we settled and scored those two important goals, which helped us win the game," he noted.

"The return of Alionz and Begesa was also a huge factor for us; they gave us what we missed. If only we had them available in our last game (Busoga), we wouldn't have lost."

Timbe also highlighted the significant difference that enabled his side to earn maximum points.

"We took our chances but also contained the ball more, which gave us the confidence to play."

The win, which is URA's sixth in the campaign, moves the four-time league champions to fifth place on 26 points after 19 games played.
