Kawempe Muslim Maintain Top Spot

On Saturday morning, Kawempe Muslim solidified their position at the summit of the table with a narrow 1-0 victory over Uganda Martyrs in Bugolobi.

Agnes Nabukenya’s late winner proved to be the decisive factor, as she expertly slotted the ball past the Uganda Martyrs goalkeeper. This strike took Nabukenya’s tally to five goals, showcasing her impressive form.

The win enabled Kawempe Muslim to maintain their grip on the top spot.

Uganda Martyrs, on the other hand, are now precariously perched only three points above the relegation zone. Their struggles continued, as they have managed to secure only one victory this season.

Kampala Queens Edge Tooro Queens

In another thrilling encounter, Kampala Queens edged Tooro Queens 2-1 in Lugogo, thanks to Zainah Nandede and Shamirah Nalugya’s first-half goals. Atuhaire Masitulah netted a consolation goal for Tooro Queens.

This victory propelled Kampala Queens to within two points of table leaders Kawempe Muslim. Notably, Kampala Queens remains unbeaten.

Tooro Queens, however, find themselves in a precarious position, sitting only one point above the relegation zone with nine games played.

In Makerere, Olila took the lead through Docus Lwalisa, but Rebecca Nakasato equalized with a bolster header to share the spoils.

She Corporate Stumbles Against Amus College WFC

The 2021/22 league champions, She Corporate, struggled once again as they lost 0-2 to newcomers Amus College WFC at home.

Amus College WFC, on the other hand, has made an impressive start to their top-flight campaign, sitting third on the log with 18 points, tied with Kampala Queens, who boast a superior goal difference and two games in hand.
