Tuesday Group C KCM Vs TP Mazembe 17:00 Rayon Sports Vs Atlabara 19:30 Rayon Sports new captain Eric Rutanga has asked his teammates to continue their good form when they take on South Sudan side Atlabara this afternoon.

We are well prepared and ready to jostle any opponent.” he added Burundian forward Jules Ulimwengu scored the lone goal in the fourth minute to give the 1998 Cecafa winners a good start against 3-time CAF champions league winners TP Mazembe. “I am happy for the new chapter in my life as the captain of the big club. It’s going to be a difficult task but I’m confident of positive performances. Our target is to win the Kagame Cecafa Cup,” said the former APR left back.
