    The judgement at the Court of Appeal was passed by Justice Remmy Kasule.

    ‘We are happy that our legal team is doing a good job.  They have patiently handled all the cases with utmost research and knowledge about the 17 cases won by FUF A when dragged to court by various people on matters regarding football’ said FUFA CEO Edgar Watson.

    The FUFA legal committee has: Luganda Alex- Chairman, Kabega Musa- Vice Chairman, Members; Robert Kayobyo, Candia Alex and and Mulangira Arthur.

    Counsel Evans Ochieng and FUFA Legal Officier Denis Lukambi have also done a wonderful job on the legal part of the federation.

    The radio will also bring you timely updates from the other two match venues (Buikwe and Kavumba).

    SOANA VS SPORTS CLUB VICTORIA UNIVERSITY – KAVUMBA RECREATIONAL STADIUM

    During the first round, Soana and Sports club Victoria University (SCVU) football clubs played to a goal-less draw at the Nelson Mandela Stadium.

    At Kavumba recreational stadium on Tuesday, the two sides will once again meet.

    Morley Byekwaso’s Victoria University lie 10th with 24 points, 2 better than Soana, who sit 12th on the 16 team table standings.

    A win for either side will be a crucial safety route from the relegation mathematics.

    SCVU welcomes back lead striker, Derrick Tokko, who missed the club’s 0-2 loss against URA at Namboole over suspension.

    LWEZA VS SIMBA – MUTESA II STADIUM, WANKULUKUKU STADIUM (LIVE ON 102.1 FUFA FM)

    The beauty of this fixture is that both sides have scored the same number of points (22) although Lweza has a game in hand.
    Lweza is currently sitting 11th and Simba lies 13th on the table standings.

    Lweza F.C lost surprisingly lost their league encounter at Bugonga against Entebbe 0-2 and can not avoid for a further slip up.

    Fred Kalanzi and Raymond Edema are expected to be the star players for Lweza and Simba respectively.

    The mighty 102.1 FUFA f.m will bring you the minute to minute up dates of this game live from Wankulukuku stadium with expert analysis from the technical personnel of former Uganda Cranes internationals, Paul Mutakabala and Edward Kalungi.

    VIPERS SPORTS CLUB VS ENTEBBE F.C – KAVUMBA RECREATIONAL STADIUM:

    It will be a fixture of the top facing the bottom placed. Rock bottom Entebbe only managed to pick their 3rd victory of the campaign with a 2-0 home win against Lweza last Friday.

    Contrastingly, Vipers lost their maiden game since the league kicked off on 19th September 2014 to boggy side, Rwenshama at Nakivubo stadium.

    The current table leaders lost their unbeaten record to surprise package, Rwenshama last Friday in a 1-2 fixture that was also shown live on Azam Television.

    Whereas Vipers boost of several Uganda Cranes internationals in Miya Farouk, Kezironi Kizito, and Goal keeper, Isma Watenga,

    Entebbe F.C will not point on a distinguished star player but, dwell on an unquestioned bed of team work.

    Strikers Alosious Lubega, Nana Natabanzi, Dan Ssewava and veteran defenders, Azizi Mugonza are the key pillars for Richard Makumbi’s coached side.

    Another slip up for Vipers will be a very big blow as regards the title chase, since their first league accolade in the 2009/10 season.

    MAY THE BETTER SIDES CARRY THE DAY.

     Buikwe She Red Stars 0-1 Kawempe Muslim
    Eastern Heroes FC 1-0 Alleluyah-Soroti

    The battle code named ‘Mother vs Daughter’ in the FUFA women Elite league was settled by arguably the best player in the season so far.

    Prior to the game, all talk was about Kawempe’s Hasfa Nassuna and her mother Annet Nakimbugwe who plays for Buikwe She Red stars.

    However when both players stepped on the pitch, the crowd in Buikwe started cheering their respective teams but with a lot of attention placed on the two players.

    Nassuna kept avoiding her mother during the game but it was just down to the different roles both players were performing on the evening.

    Halftime ended goalless in a match that was broadcast live on 102.1 FUFA fm by Dumba Siraje.

    It looked like the game was headed for a draw without any scores but Agaba Hajarah brought down Hasfa Nassuna in the forbidden area. The referee pointed to the penalty spot. Sandra Nabweteme who has now scored 11 goals in the league and leading the scorers chart, converted the penalty successfully for Kawempe Muslim  to win 1-0 and extend their unbeaten run to four games.

    Not h teams entered the match having won all their opening three fixtures.

    the other match played in Soroti saw  Eastern Heroes edge Allleluyah 1-0.

    the league resumed on Good Friday after a three week break.
