  • FUFA SUPER LEAGUE: Proline hosts KCC in the Lugogo Derby

    FRIDAY 25TH APRIL 2014

    All matches start at 4:30pm

    Proline vs KCC – KCCA Stadium

    SCVU vs Simba – Mandela national stadium

    Express vs Bright Stars – Wankulukuku

    Police v Entebbe – Kavumba

    CRO vs URA -Mbale

    SC Villa vs Vipers – Nakivubo

    Week 28 of the FUFA Super league gets underway this Friday with 6 different fixtures at various venues.

    Proline football club, currently lagging two places from bottom in the 14th place (with 21 points) hosts the league’s defending champions, Kampala City Council (KCC), who lead the 16 team log with 49 points, same as SCVU.

    Owing to the fact that Proline is desperately fighting against relegation and KCC are targeting consolidating the lead and win their 8th league title are two factors that classify the fixture as a thriller.

    Another game envisaged in the same periphery is that of the second place Sports Club Victoria University (SCVU) against the army side, Simba. The two sides will play at Namboole Stadium.

    Fred Kajoba’s Simba is 12th with 26 points, facing intense pressure from the chasing pack of Entebbe (23) and Proline (21).

    Express fresh from that surprising 3– 2 win over KCC at home on Tuesday faces Coach Livingstone Mbabazi’s Bright Stars at the Mutesa II Stadium in Wankulukuku.

    Both sides would wish to run away to safety to avoid the possible relegation mathematics.

    Angelo Lonyesi’s Police FC hosts Alex Gitta’s Entebbe at Kavuma Recreation Stadium whie third placed URA travels to the usually unpredictable Mbale Municipal Stadium to face the bottom placed Child’s Restoration Organization (CRO).

    CRO has already held SC Villa, Express FC, Kira Young and Vipers to draws in the second round at Mbale.

    Vipers start life minus their long serving doctor, John Ssenkumba (RIP) as they make that short journey to Nakivubo war memorial stadium to play the 16 time record league champions, Sports Club Villa.

    Meanwhile FUFA Vice president (FSL) Mujib Kasule has confirmed that a minute of silence will be observed in today’s FSL matches in memory of the departed John Ssenkumba who passed away in a motor accident in Adjumani. Ssenkumba was Vipers FC’s doctor.

    Kira Young 0 – 0 BUL

    Express has defeated KCC 3- 2 in one of the 3 FUFA Super league games played on Tuesday at the Phillip Omondi Stadium in Lugogo.

    A wonderful 2nd minute Willy Kavuma free kick after Ronnie Kisekka had fouled Allan Kyambadde opened the floodlights for the visiting Express side.

    Rogers Lukwiya added Express’ second in the 30th minute before referee Ali Kaddu called for the half time.

    KCC live wire striker, Herman Wasswa’s rich vein of form continued as he pulled one back for the hosts 6 minutes after recess.

    Express’ burly forward, Isaac Sserunkuma, often used as a lonely striker for long spells of the game buried off the game  with an 82nd minute effort before second half substitute, Derrick Nsibambi  flicked the ball into Express’ net 5 minutes to full time to book a tense finish .

    The victory earns Express 3 points and thus accumulate 29 points off 26 games, 2 points better  than Bright Stars. KCC remains in the league pole slot with 49 points off 25 games.

    Sports Club Victoria University is joint top (49 points) but has played a game more than KCC (26).

    Express coach, Wasswa Bbosa thus remarked after the game, his charges are more than ready to survive relegation more so with their upcoming fixture this Friday against Bright Stars.

    “The boys are ready for the task at hand. We shall play any team across our face”, Wasswa told fufa.co.ug.

    In the other games played, Masaka Local Council rallied from behind to pick a vital away point against Soana at Kavumba Stadium with a 3 – 3 result over Soana.

    Andrew Kiweewa netted a brace, including a last gasp equalizer for Masaka L.C before Gerald Kimuli got the other goal for the visitors.

    A double from Francis Olaki  and Dan Wagaluka had put Soana in the lead before a late surge by Masaka L.C, one side desperate to fight against relegation.

    A point for Soana puts them on 45 while Masaka has 20 points from 26 games played.

    Jinja based side, Bul, coached by Kefa Kisala picked an away point at Namboole over Harunah Kebba’s Kira Young with a goal-less draw.

    Kira Young remains stagnated in the 6th position on the 16 team log with 42 points while Bul is just one place below with 41 points.
