Early goals from Cathy Nassimbwa in the 10th minute and Jovia Nakagolo eight minutes later secured the victory for the Lady Cardinals with a wonderful finish after a dribble passed the goalkeeper.

Carol Ikot, a player for the Lady Doves, attributed their loss to limited training time and strategic challenges, as many team members are based in Kampala for internships, making it difficult to practice together. “We didn’t train as a team for that game because traveling is expensive, and we struggled to strategize against KCCA,” Ikot explained.

Uganda Christian University (UCU) Cardinals are set to face Kabale University in the University Football League (UFL)  on 29th October  at the UCU Grounds.

UCU conceded the only goal of the game in the first half of the game five minutes after Allan Opio failed to convert the penalty

Nemostars dominated the first two sets (25:20 and 25:23, respectively). The Lady Doves experienced a range of emotions as they were determined and frustrated, but they remained focused on winning.

“This win means a lot, and getting the 3 points from a team like Nemostars, a big team, is a plus for us. As we prepare for the next game against Sky, we need to stay focused and aim for another 3 points to boost our position on the table.”
