Junior Kagezi also grabbed a brace, while Hamza Ssenoga also had a goal for Kiringente but their efforts were not enough to turn the game into their favor.
The match between Grace Church and Jinja Lions was abandoned because the former couldn’t raise enough players to continue with the game after one of their three players present for the game was injured in the first minute of the first period.
Before the game was stopped, Jinja Lions was already 1-0 up courtesy of Nicholas Mwere’s early strike and the competitions committee has since awarded the Sand Kings with three goals and three points.
