Uganda’s pursuit of a record 15th Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup title will be on today at KCCA stadium, Lugogo at 4 pm when they face Eritrea in the finals of the 2019 edition.
Kenya is also set to play Tanzania at 1 pm for a third and fourth playoffs in the same pitch.
The Cranes are the only side in the tournament yet to draw or lose a game and are favourites going into the game against less fancied but enterprising Eritreans.
“Regardless of who wins tomorrow, I think it’s fair to say that the Eritreans performance throughout the tournament deserves a team an accolade,” said McKinstry whose Cranes beat Eritrea 2-0 in the group stages.
