The season has not been bad for AS Kigali teams and we hope to do even better next season.”“The men’s team did not accomplish its targets 100% but if they can win on Saturday, it is going to be more than we set out to achieve.”“We want to celebrate both titles (women’s league and Peace Cup titles), so we would be a bit disappointed if we lose to AS Muhanga in the final,” he stated.
