The preparations that started with a one week camp in Kampala, then moved to Yaounde for the Pre- CHAN Mini Tournament and now in Douala for a private camp, have left the head coach Johnathan McKinstry an impressed man.

We shall be here for on a private training camp for six days then head to the CHAN Finals. It is just an opportunity for us to fine tune the team. We are looking at opportunities to add one percent here or two percent there. There is no major thing we want to change at this stage. The countdown is on and the boys are in good spirits. It is about adding those finer details so that we are fully prepared.
