Back at Kawempe, Hasfa Nassuna and her mother Annet Nakimbugwe were in touch on phone a few hours before Kawempe Muslim Secondary and Buikwe She Red Stars clashed today in the FUFA Women Elite League.

Both Nassuna and Nakimbugwe were the centre of attraction in both the first and second round fixtures between their teams. Nassuna a senior five student at Kawempe Muslim secondary school was fouled for the penalty her team won in the first round as Kawempe edged Buikwe She Red Stars 1-0 in Buikwe. That penalty was converted by the league’s leading scorer Sandra Nabweteme.

FUFA WOMEN ELITE LEAGUE

Saturday: Gafford 1-0 Kawempe at Cleveland
Saturday: Eastern Heroes 2-0 Kakira in Soroti
Sunday UCU 1-0 She Corporates in Mukono
Sunday Western 1-1 Wakiso in Mbarara
Sunday  Ajax 1-2 She. Mak. St. in Bulenga

On the eve of the Gafford-Kawempe Muslim match, head coach Henry Barungi revealed that his players had a special plan to contain leading scorer Sandra Nabweteme.

In Saturday’s game, Fatumah ‘Kamunye’ Luwedde did the damage as she  netted the game’s solitary goal late in the second half to end Kawempe’s 5 match unbeaten run. The result also meant that Kawempe conceded their first goal of the season.

Having signed new players and also improved on their technical bench with tactics after the FIFA Women coaching course at the FUFA Technical centre, there are signs that many teams will be a hard nut to crack.

In the first round, when the two teams met, Kawempe trounced Gafford 5-0 with Sandra Nabweteme (14 goals this season so far) netting a hattrick.

All eyes were on Nabweteme after her school had just won the National schools girls football championship in Mbarara. She scored 37 goals.
