Mutoola BSC extended their winning streak on Sunday with wins over Jinja Lions and Ms Sand Lions, while there were first wins of the season for Buganda Royal, MUBS and Kiringente.
Mutoola BSC 4-3 Jinja Lions
Mutoola edged Jinja Lions in the top of the table clash at FUFA technical center beach soccer arena with Paul Nsege’s second goal in the game winning the cagey contest for Mutoola with a few minutes left on the clock.
Jinja Lions came from behind twice to tie the game 3-3 by the third quarter, and by this moment, both teams seemingly looked comfortable with sharing the points until Nsege’s shot bounced off the sand to send Julius Sseguya in the Sand Kings’ goal the wrong way to win it all for his side.
His early strike, Peter Mukwata and Simon Peter Kijjo’s goals had been cancelled out by Shaka Ssozi’s brace and Nicholus Tamale’s goal for Jinja Lions.
Mutoola’s starting five against Jinja Lions
Ms Sand Lions 2-6 Mutoola BSC
In their second game, they eased past MS Sand Lions 6-2 to open up a six point gap at the top.
After four games, Mutoola count twelve (12) points to their name, six better off their immediate followers Jinja Lions and KJT.
Ashraf Apuuli ran to a hat trick, with Oscar Ssendege, Faizal Sekitti and Musa Ssali also scoring a goal each for the Salim Muwonge coached side.
Simon Kizito and Salami Lukwago’s goals for Ms Sand Lions were not enough to turn the game on its head for their side.
Buganda Royal 5-1 Kiringente BSC
Buganda Royal swiped down their poor run by winning 5-1 against Kiringente.
They fell to the two Lions – Jinja and Ms Sand in their opening two games but they played better on Sunday and they looked more like the team they were in the previous seasons.
Ambrose Kigozi registered a hat trick in a match where Paul Kato and Hassan Luboyera were also on target. Derrick Jim Ssekulima gave Kiringente some hope with a good finish but the game was already beyond their reach.
MUBS 3-1 Kampala Junior Team (KJT)
Two-time league champions MUBS picked up their first win of the season, beating KJT 3-1. Swaibu Kakwaya’s brace and a goal from Maxwell Okello gave MUBS the advantage over the newbies who scored through Henry Stuart Kafuluma.
Ms Sand Lions 2-5 Kiringente BSC
There was also a win for Kiringente, who in their second game on the day picked off Ms Sand Lions comfortably to record a 5-2 win. Braces from Junior Bashir Kagezi and Derrick Jim Ssekulima, and an own goal by goalkeeper Jenkins Luyigo gifted Kiringente the win despite Simon Kizito and Brian Kiyimba also finding the net for their side.
KJT 2-0 Grace Church
Alvin Ssekiyivu and Sudaisi Kayiira scored a goal each to hand KJT their second win in three matches.
