The former AS Kigali and Police FC attacker has, so far, scored 11 goals this season after netting a brace over the weekend against the youth army side in Ngoma. “This team was built to win titles and to promote to the first division,” said Songa on Monday. “We have shown our character from the group stages till now. We feel the big support from fans, club administration, and everyone around this team. Looking at how we performed in these past two quarter final legs against a difficult team like Intare you would see why we’re the fouvarite team to qualify though we have to maintain that consistency.” READ ALSO: Etoile drawn against Intare FC in second division quarter finals The Ngoma based club finished first in the second division Group A, with 44 points in 18 games, 13 points clear ahead of second placed Vision FC. “No one is going to remember what we’ve done in the groups or in the playoffs if we don’t qualify for the top flight.
