Solutions 6 vs 0 Ababombo
Ababombo failed to raise a complete team, but one-man army Rastafarian Danny was not afraid to take on full-strength title-chasing Solutions rather than awarding them walkover points. The result was devastating as Solutions hit them for dead. Dangerman Kiga P scored 4 goals, the most by a Jovoc league player in a single match eclipsing, Mets' hat-trick record against Akachai last season. Allan with a brace of assists and Albert joined the assisting party. Too much pressure from Solutions' numerical advantage in the attacks led to Pius and Nkabura conceding own goals to cap off a disastrous early kick-off. A day to remember for Kiga P and his teammates, a nightmare for Pius and the rest of the pink boys to remember.
Ntemi Chiefs 1 vs 0 Abakachai
On paper, Abakachai had too much, zeal, talent, and firepower to pick all maximum points against old chiefs. Football matches are never won on paper. Yesiga, the old lanky Ntemi striker struck early against calamitous Vitah who was deputising in goal for Marvin. Guma Gilbert thwarted every shot Ampa, LeBron, Lambert and Muhebwa aimed at his goal. His Berlin defensive wall of Benjah, Robert and Allan Police frustrated Akachai attackers and they failed to breach it. Ntemi's papa took the steam out of the high tempo of ábakachai players by drawing technical fouls and over-possessing the ball. The win for Ntemi pushed them further from relegation and the loss for Akachai meant they lost their invincible league status.
Abezekyenda 1 vs 0 emanzi
Emanzi are good at frustrating teams and table leaders had to dig deep to secure maximum points. Emanzi skipper Taremwa was the centre of attraction with his time-wasting theatrics. Nicolas set up Oscar for the late winner to break the hero's hearts and keep the table leaders on top.
Legends 2 vs 0 Aboojo
Legends made light work of bottom-placed Aboojo with a quick-fire double from Kansiime and Derrick. Chair Credo and Baino were in goal assisting mood for the dynamic striking duo of Emma and Derrick. Mr Ninkitera Ekiro N'eihangwe Jekay made his long-awaited debut for legends under the watchful eyes of coach Naku who gave us vibe after vibe.
Enturi 1 vs 0 Abukyariire
Abukyariire is one team that forces Enturi to abandon their passing philosophy and it’s simply because they cut down their passing lanes. Still, Enturi have perfected the drill to unlock their bogey team, go long and wait for one lapse in concentration. Abukyariire had more shots on target with Kakuru missing opportunities and it took one moment of individual brilliance from Mets who played a reverse pass in the path of Oswald. He chipped a simple ball that caused Karugaba and Herbert all sorts of problems. 1-0 the match ended with Abukyariire cursing their earlier missed chances.
Entumwa 2 vs 2 Abomutumba
Entumwa are a pragmatic side but if a team shows any signs of beating them, they come out firing on all cylinders to force a draw. Abomutumba are an attacking side. it was a clash of 2 different football styles but an entertaining one to the spectators. It was a battle of forwards to settle this stalemate, Entumwa's Birungi matching away with a brace and Abomutumba's Dusenge scoring a brace on the other side. Ariho and Charles assisting Birungi’s goals. Alba and Rogers returning the favour for Dusenge.
Amahome 2 vs 0 Abahinizi
Jeremy in the company of his trekkers just can’t handle an early kick-off fixture. The losing streak continued here as the leisure guys made light work of the trekkers. It was a Tyson Mpairwe - Dennis Matsiko affair that did the damage, with both scoring and assisting each other’s goals as a helpless head of welfare Franswa watched on, in Abanihizi’s goalposts.
Amajojo 2 vs 0 Nsiikye Saints
The fairytale 5-game winning run of Nsiikye was ended by the gallant elephants. Man on form, Gilbert Ballotelli was the architect of the Saints downfall and he kept Bwije in goal a busy man. Gilbert scored the first goal and set up Peter Nimusiima's second to cap off a man-of-the-match performance. Ragz didn’t allow Remy any sight of his goal.
Abakuubwa 1 vs 0 Basheya
Eligio, Ivan and prince are carrying the defending champions as they mount a late surgency to climb the table. Basheya’s low block of counsel Tego, David and Gilbert has frustrated many league attackers. Missing a player did not help their cause. Where there is will, there is a way. Eligio still assisted Prince, whose winning goal ensured they matched away with maximum points.
Abaleni 3 vs 0 Abakawu
We all know Abakawu’s defence is made of steel because of Gas, Martinez, Ijuuka and Primus but against Abaleni, their defence crumbled like it was made of quicksand. Payet was playing like a possessed man and capped off a man-of-the-match performance with a well-taken hatrick. Vet, officer and comfort ran the cowboys' defence rugged with attack after attack, assist after assist. A steam bath for all Abakawu players would have been recommended after this match.
Solutions 1 vs 0 Abomutumba
A cagey match as both sides matched each other. Mugisha Albert popped up with the all-important goal, mark with all the important finish to keep solutions title dreams alive.
Enturi 1 vs 0 Ababombo
Ababombo put in a shift against the passing boys of Enturi and as most fans anticipated this would end in a draw. Coleb and adequate had other plans. Coleb set up Adequate, outside the box who launched a screamer beyond Pius' reach in Ababombo’s goal to break their hearts.
Aboojo 1 vs 1 Abukyarire
Complacency in front of the goal was to blame for Abukyarire in a game they dominated Aboojo. A back pass from Herbert caused Karugaba problems. His poor clearance left his goal unguarded and handed a silver platter opportunity for Chris, Aboojo’s striker, he pounced on sight to give Aboojo the lead, Counsel Kakuru went on an overlapping run at the restart and fired from a distance to equalize for Abukyarire.
Abakachai 1 vs 0 Emanzi
Ábakachai recovered from their earlier loss to Ntemi with a one-nil win against Emanzi. Danger man Ampa scored the all-important penalty to help the team boys to maximum points in what has been an on-and-off season.
Abanihizi 1 vs 0 Amajojo
Two inconsistent teams went head to head but only one rose up victorious. Gilbert out-staged his namesake on the opposite side to assist Audrey’s goal in a smash-and-grab win for the trekkers.
Legends 0 vs 1 Nsiikye Saints
With Guma back in goal, it was a relief and platform Nsiikye would use to nullify Legends' attacking trident of Baino, Kansiime and Derrick. The battle between the new kit owners and the drunkards as per social media banter was won by the drunkards on the field. Medard set up Arnold whose unstoppable shot flew past Bright in Legends' goal. This sparked wild celebrations in Nsiikye's camp and time-wasting game management tactics headed by technical head Bwije to protect their lead.
Abaleni 1 vs 0 Basheya
Mugisha officer scored a late winner for Abaleni to keep their title hopes alive. Jose's vet laid on the assist. This win meant a lot to them considering table leaders Abezekyenda dropped points against Amahoome. The Abaleni players on loan at Amahoome put in a shift to frustrate the table leaders on behalf of their parent club.
JOVOC Select 1 vs 0 KISOBA Select.
Bwije and his technical team assembled a star-studded team to lock horns with KISOBA's crème de la crème. However they were not helped by team news being linked in the opposite camp and the fact that most JOVC Select players featured in the last games there was an element of fatigue, Sextus was in goal, Kimmich, Payet and Mob in defence, Popa, Ivan and Nicolas in midfield, Mets and Ivan led our hunt for goals in attack.
Mets was a thorn in Kisoba's defence but Kisoba’s skipper Edison dominated and won the midfield battle, Kisoba’s players seemed sharper on the ball. Mets scored a screamer to give Jovoc Select the lead but Jose vet was the game changer as he came on for Kisoba, he caused problems for Alba, Kimmich, Prosper and Payet in defence and it was save after save from Warren who denied the seminarians from equalizing with a man of the match performance.
