The race for promotion from the FUFA Big League to the topflight has become more tight and interesting with all the top contenders pulled to their extreme on Thursday.
Proline FC pulled a late winner through Fahad Bayo to defeat a resilient Hope Doves 2-1 in Wankulukuku.
Ibrahim Ssendi had opened the scores as early as the 13th minute but Remex Tumwebaze equalized towards the end of first half to pile pressure on the table leaders.
In Jinja, Musa Magumba’s 32nd minute header was enough to salvage a win from a wasteful Kirinya Jinja Ss in their home game against Kasese new Villa.
Jinja SS now move to 33 points two below second placed Masavu Fc whose game away to Wakiso United was abandoned before completion.
Rwenzori group
Both Paidha Black Angels and Sporting United posted heavy wins at home and away respectively.
Jackson Nsubuga fired in the 12th minute to usher in a brace from Vital is Tabu as the Barokoro stadium went into frenzy celebrating Paidha’s 3-0 rout over Lira united.
Sporting United replicated the performance beating Baza holdings 3-1 in Kampala.
