We are only midway through the first round but the 2025/2026 season has already delivered quite a number of talking points. Match week six had a huge impact on the standings as there was plenty of movement over the weekend. Rines SS WFC got off the mark, Kampala Queens and Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC picked vital wins while She Corporate FC’s unbeaten run came to an end.
Here is the full round-up of the weekend’s action.
Kampala Queens triumph despite St Noa’s dominance.
Catherine Nagadya scored the decisive goal, securing Kampala Queens a hard-fought 1-0 win against St Noa Girls-Zana FC at Muteesa II Stadium.
This is St Noa’s debut campaign in the league, but you wouldn’t know it while watching the hosts dominate against the defending Champions. The home side flowed with confidence from the outset, producing a hugely entertaining game but it was the visitors who got the lead six minutes past the half-hour mark through Catherine Nagadya, capitalising on a defensive lapse to net her third goal of the season in three consecutive games. The winger is stepping up brilliantly to lead the Queens’ title defence.
The host’s head coach was satisfied with the display but hurt they didn’t win the 3 points.
‘We controlled the game, got into the key areas but we lacked the cutting edge, its hurts but we lost against a strong team; however, we have got plenty of positives to take into the next fixtures,’ Tonny Mawejje told this website after the match.
On the other hand, Kampala Queens Assistant Coach Sharon Kizza was satisfied with the result.
‘Our players showed seniority, the hosts played better, but we capitalised on our chance and defended resiliently. These are three important points away from home,’ she told this website after the match.
The result marked back-to-back clean sheets for the Queens, who sit second on the table, while St Noa remain in the mid-zone. Zainabu Birungi was named the Woman of the Match.
Kawempe too strong for She Corporate FC to go top.
Latifah Nakasi inspired Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC to a 2-0 triumph over She Corporate FC at FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru. The forward’s stunning brace in 18 minutes proved decisive to end the Sharks unbeaten run.
Whatever Ayub Khalifa said to the players in the locker room before the game worked wonders. The warriors got off to a flying start as Latifah Nakasi reacted fastest to tap home a loose ball in the box, scoring in the opening minute, setting the tone of the proceedings early on in a 4-1-2-3 shape, overloading the sharks’ defence and causing tactical difficulties for them. The warriors’ front three of Jovia Nakagolo, Asia Nakibuuka and Latifah Nakasi looked sharp, using speed to attack quickly, creating chance after chance. This dominance paid off in the 18th minute when Latifah tapped home Jovia’s cutback, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance. Upon restart, the warriors stopped the sharks from playing progressive football, limiting them to a few chances, securing three vital points on the road to propel them to the top of the table.
Ayub Khalifa will be much happier with the collective defensive unit that kept three clean sheets on the bounce. They are looking way stronger than last season. Speaking to this website after the game, the tactician highlighted the importance of the win.
‘The win is a big boost for us, it was a must-win for us to go to the top of the table. I am glad the girls delivered the three points.’
Rines SS WFC get off the mark.
Rines SS WFC edged Uganda Martyrs H/S WFC 1-0 at St Gerald’s Ground to secure their maiden victory of the season. Yasmeen Nalukwago’s 27th-minute strike proved decisive after goalkeeper Joan Namusisi failed to deal with a well-worked corner, finding Nalukwago well-positioned to slot home.
Despite the hosts’ relentless pressure in the second half, teenage goalkeeper Bridget Nansamba made a string of stand-out saves to ensure they claimed the 3 points. Her efforts were rewarded with the Finance Trust Bank Woman of the Match award.
She Maroons FC and Amus College FC return back to winning ways.
She Maroons FC cruised to a 2-1 victory against Makerere University WFC at Prison Grounds, Luzira, with goals from Immaculate Kizza and Lillian Kasuubo securing the victory, while Halima Kampi scored the consolation for the university side.

Asubo and Olila share spoils.
Asubo Ladies FC and Olila H/S WFC played out a 2-2 thrilling draw.
