    In the last ten league games between the two sides, Express FC have only won twice with the Jinja-based outfit winning six while the other two games ended in stalemates.

    To reach this stage, Express FC dumped out Police FC on kicks from the penalty mark (3-1 after normal time ended goalless) while BUL FC, on the other hand, outwitted Bukedea Town Council FC 4-1.

    Mukasa famously known as the ‘football god’ with his left sweet foot is best known for his career at Express FC and the only Ugandan named on the best team during the 1976 Africa Cup of Nations.

    He reminisced how the competition was tight at the time that he did not get the chance to lift the Uganda Cup-then the Kakungulu Cup.

    “At the time when I played, we had very many good teams like KCC (now KCCA FC), Simba FC, Nsambya Fc, Maroons FC, and Coffee FC. So it was very hard for any team to win a trophy and I must say not winning this tournament still hurts me.” Said Mukasa who played for Nateete FC, Nakivubo Boys, Express FC among others.

    Muganzi on the other expressed delight about the progress of the tournament and indicated Stanbic Bank will continue to offer their support.

    Coached by Faridah Bulega who is also the Crested Cranes head coach, Kampala Queens FC have a better goal difference of eleven while UCU Lady Cardinals and Olila High School have eight and seven respectively.

    Lilian Mutuuzo, Damalie Matama, Zaina Namuleme and Namwase Monica were all on the score sheet for Kampala Queens.

    UCU Lady Cardinals needed a late winner courtesy of midfielder Jauhara Naluyima to edge Uganda Martyrs High School Lubaga in a closely contested encounter.

    Olila High School also won with the same scoreline against Lango Queens thanks to Siporosa Amoding’s goal.

    Fauziah Najjemba scored a brace to help Israel Soccer Academy overcome a resilient She MAK in the game played at the Valley ground, Kawempe on Sunday.

    The two goals took Najjemba’s tally to eight this season only one behind leading scorers Nassuna and Nalukenge.
