The first leg of the qualifier round of the FUFA TV Cup took place today, with the opening ceremony hosted at St Mary’s College Kisubi. The hosts took on Ndejje SSS in a match that ended 3–1 in their favour.
Goals from Ronald Odong, Shawn Bwogi, and Sherin Tukashaba sealed the victory for the inaugural winners of the competition. The visitors got on the scoresheet through Daniel Okello before the half-time break to make it 1–1, but the home side added two more in the second half.
While speaking to the press after the match, the St Mary’s College Kisubi Head Coach highlighted the team’s preparation, especially after falling short in the previous edition.
‘Being the first game of this tournament, edition number three, we had to prepare a lot having come in the second edition as defending champions and we didn’t make it any further,’ he said.
‘Like any other team, the target is reaching far and of course reaching the finals and consequently taking the trophy. That is our target, nothing else,’ he added.
Elsewhere, Mbale SSS, Duhaga SS, Bukoyo SS, and Mehta SS all secured wins.
Mbale SSS defeated Iganga High School 2–0 in Mbale, with goals from Mwekolyo Umar and Nangumba Assah Nick.
A lone first-half goal from Ali Muwayi was enough for Bukoyo SS to overcome Bukooli College.
Duhaga SSS defeated St Edward’s Bukuumi away from home by a single goal, while Mehta SS edged St Joseph’s SSS Nagalama at home by the same margin.
The only draw of the day came in the goalless encounter between Nyakasura School and St Leo’s College Kyegobe.
