Kinondoni Municipal Council (KMC FC) head coach Jackson Mayanja has blamed their participation in the Cecafa Kagame Cup and Caf Confederation Cup for a poor start to the season.
The Kinondoni-based side took part in the July Cecafa finals in Rwanda before almost immediately facing AS Kigali of Rwanda in the Confederation Cup preliminary round.
KMC were bundled out of the Caf competition after a 2-1 home defeat at National Stadium in Dar es Salaam after an initial goalless draw in Kigali.
