BUL FC head coach Alex Isabirye is a happy man after his side’s recent performance in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League.

The Eastern Giants have seen out an impressive 3-1 victory over Tooro United on Friday in Fort Portal.

All the damage was done by the Eastern Giants in a rampaging first half as they cut through an ailing Tooro United back line in the opening period.

Isabirye was pleased with the result because it was the second on the bounce after a slump.

“I am really excited because getting three points away from home is not easy at all. We are trying to see that we compete this season and I am happy my players are now competing,” Isabirye said.

“The game was good as well as the result because the players played very well.”

“We have another game on Friday, so, we need to go back home and see how we are going to handle it. The good thing is, we didn’t get any new injury and the players are very okay,” he added.

That victory lifted the Eastern Giants to second in table on 20 points after ten games, their next task will see them play home to Bright Stars a week from now.
