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.
It was a sweet victory for the Mukono-based side since they had lost to the Lady Doves 3-0 a week ago in the FUFA Women Super League.
With the FUFA Women’s Super League coming to an end, the UCU Lady Cardinals are in an unsafe position, currently ranked ninth in the league with only 14 points and two matches remaining. Despite recently winning the FUFA Women’s Cup, there are still worries over whether their cup success can translate into league survival.
Can you imagine being in good physical health but still not being able to play the game you love?”
UCU Canons fell to Kampala Rockets in a 67-70 loss in the National Basketball League encounter at Lugogo Indoor Arena.
Speaking to The Standard, UCU sports tutor Sam Lukaire revealed that they will shift attention to next season and see how to improve the team.
If given all the desired support, the University football league stands a chance of creating a culture that has the potential to be the best foundation for football identity and fan base development.
