Muteesa I Royal University caused the biggest shock on the day, defeating Dalumba Interantional beach soccer club in a nail biting match.
Dalumba dearly missed the services of last season’s MVP, Mathias Kigonya, who had traveled with the national football team, The Cranes for the CHAN return leg against Sudan in Khartoum.
Muteesa 1 Royal University scored through a double set of braces from Julius Rulinda Julius and Crispus Kusiima before Primo Kimera Primo got the other goal.
Dalumba’s Hamis Katende scored a hat-trick John Kokas Opejo Kokas and Hamis Katende
The loss for Dalumba means they who are currently off form also lost to Real Galacticals (8-3) and St. Lawrence (3-2) in the last previous matches. Dalumba Coach Kyabagu Billy is confident his side will bounce back in their next encounter against Kabalagala Rangers.
“The team isn’t performing well because the players are lacking a winning mentality but I’m confident we can bounce back. All we need is to learn from our mistakes to avoid to losing any more matches” Dalumba Coach Billy Kyabagu
