The Pepsi sponsored Uganda Beach Soccer Association (UBSA) National league resumed on Sunday with its much expected thrills, goals and excitement.
Over the 7 physically played matches, there were 60 goals recorded.
15 of these were hat-tricks, 16 braces and the rest (29) individual strikes.
John Kokas Opejo and Muzafaru Ssenyonjo (Dalumba-Richmonds), Hamimu Ssemakula (Kayunga Town Council), Dougals Muganga (Nkumba Select) and Ambrose Naturinda (YMCA) each notched a hat-trick.
Dalumba Richmond club humiliated Mutesa 1 Royal University 8-3, a similar scoreline YMCA recorded over league debutant side, Talented.
The biggest shock on the day was when runner away Hurriken group leaders, Kayunga Town Council edged Nkumba Select 4-3 in a closely contested encounter that saw Nkumba goal keeper, Kassim Ssenteza ‘sent for an early shower’ following unsporting conduct.
St Lawrence University were luck to bag 3 points and 3 goals without sweat after International University of East Africa (IUEA) failed to show up.
The competition for the play off slots is definitely taking shape as the league group games near completion.
It will be interesting to witness how teams fight for the available 8 slots of the quarter-finals.
Deo Mutabaazi, Chairman Uganda Beach Soccer Association (UBSA) reveals to www.fufa.co.ug

Lido Beach resort in Entebbe and Crown Beverage under the Pepsi Soda brand are the other UBSA partners.
