Uganda’s Hippos to face Ghana in Africa youth championship

Uganda’s Hippos team currently in camp on Friday will face Ghana in the Africa Youth Championship U-20 qualifier.

The head coach of Hippos Paul Ntanda says that he is now sharpening his boys ahead of Friday’s Africa Youth Championship U-20 qualifiers.

He says that his dream is to make hippos striking line much better. Ntanda’s main hopes are in Hippos key striker Julius Ogwang. The coach says Ogwang has exhibited great zeal ahead of Friday’s game.

We hear striker Ogwang wants to make great impact in the qualifiers in order to attract the attention of Uganda Cranes head coach, Bobby Williamson. Ghana’s Black Satellites are the Africa Youth Championship U-20 winners of 2009.

Ogwang was one of the leading strikers in the recent Uganda Super League and this same player says that he is out to prove himself against Ghana.

The winner of this coming game will face the winner of the other game between Morocco and Gambia in second round of the tournament set for September and October 2012.
