Greensharks coach Ben Owaga is eyeing defensive discipline as they prepare to face defending champions Butali at the city park today.
Sharks have found the going tough this season after sipping in 16 goals in seven matches hence raising eyebrows.
“We have made amends in the defence and this time around I expect the boys to deliver it on the field. The boys have agreed to tighten up and shoulder responsibility as a team. We respect Butali as the defending champions but we have nothing to fear as we face them. If we can avoid conceding an early goal, we can get a result.”
