Police, Entebbe UPPC seek victories to keep within leaders Vipers

Published

on

Joint third placed Entebbe UPPC and Police face Mbarara City and Buhimba United Saints respectively on Tuesday aiming for maximum points to keep pace with leaders Vipers.

The duo, alongside record champions SC Villa are on 31 points, six behind Vipers and must win to keep faint title hopes alive.

The Printers come into the game following a frustrating goalless draw with Express at Nakivubo and will be desperate for not only victory but also extend their clean sheet record.

The reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 draw and the Ankole Lions, despite faltering for most of the season will be buoyed by their 1-0 win over Calvary in the recent outing.

At Royal Park, Butema, Police take on troubled Buhimba United Saints knowing they must win.

Like Mbarara City, Buhimba are also a tricky customer who want to win by all means to continue moving away from the relegation monster.

Mbarara City are on 15 points, three better than UPDF who occupy the top position on the relegation table while Buhimba United Saints are one point less.

In the late kick off on Tuesday, champions Vipers host NEC at St. Mary’s stadium, Kitende under the floodlights.

NEC confident of maintaining unbeaten run against UPDF despite injuries

Published

Tuesday March 3, 2026

  • Police vs BUL – Kiira Road Police Arena, Kamwokya 4pm
  • Kitara vs Entebbe UPPC – Royal Park Butema 4pm
  • NEC vs UPDF – MTN Omondi stadium, Lugogo 8pm
  • Vipers vs Lugazi – St. Mary’s stadium, Kitende 8pm

NEC will be eager to keep their unbeaten run going in 2026 when they host UPDF in one of the four premier league matches on Tuesday.

The Bugolobi based side have not lost a game since the 2-1 defeat to KCCA in December and have since gone seven matches without a loss in the league and two in the Stanbic Uganda Cup.

They go into the game confident after overcoming the same opponent 2-0 in the Stanbic Uganda Cup last week and are unbeaten against the army side in all meetings.

Badru Kaddu has revealed that midfield engine Joseph Sseremba and striker Richard Basangwa are unavailable due to injuries but still believes those available will do the job.

“The target is to keep the run going and we want to win,” said Kaddu.

NEC are 7th on the log with 24 points while UPDF are flirting with relegation having collected only 12 points.

Samuel Ssekamatte could make his NEC debut against former immediate pay bosses in the absence of Basangwa.

In other matches, BUL visit Police, champions Vipers host Lugazi while Kitara are at home to Entebbe UPPC.

What better symbol of KCCA revival than Ahimbisibwe form

Published

on

Ivan Ahimbisibwe once again scored a brace as KCCA beat Buhimba United Saints to move within two points of leaders Vipers SC.

The two goals make it four goals in as many previous matches after he also netted in the win over St. George in Masindi and against BUL in the premier league.

Ahimbisibwe’s form has coincided with the resurgence of KCCA who are back in contention in the league and also in the round of 16 in the Uganda Cup.

When he hasn’t scored, KCCA have struggled for results dropping points in defeats to Police (2-0), NEC (2-1) and Entebbe UPPC (1-0) and a draw against Maroons.

The ex-URA striker has scored nine league goals and leads the charts jointly with Ambros Kigozi and is just seven shy of his tally from last season.

The work Brian Ssenyondo and his backroom staff have clearly done with the forward on the training pitch is paying off, and the confidence instilled in him is just as plain to see after he appeared to have hit low heights when he returned from Africa Cup of Nations without playing any minutes for Uganda Cranes.

For now, he appears to be back to his best and showing why KCCA signed him from URA in the summer.

Published

on

SC Villa through the registered Trustees of the Villa Members’ Trust (VMT) have revealed the committee that will be in charge of the upcoming Presidential elections.

It should be noted that SC Villa will go to the polls on 22 March and the electoral roadmap has been released already.

The Electoral Committee will be headed by Brian Kajuba with Brandon Katura and Desire Mukisa serving as members.

In the recent General Meeting convened on Sunday, it was agreed that for anyone to contest as the club President, he/she must be a non-refundable registration fee of USH 100M.

Hajji Omar Mandela who is the current SC Villa President is seeking for a return to the helm, having served the previous term between 2021 – 2025.

It should be noted that his term had elapsed in November last year and several questions have been raised on where he is not operating illegally at the moment.

In his defence, Mandela and the current leadership stated that the Villa elections coincided with the National General Elections and thus the decision to postpone the exercise up to March this year.
