Eastern Heroes 1-0 Ajax Queens
Ajax Queens missed out on the chance of ascending to the summit of Victoria group after suffering a shocking defeat to Eastern Heroes.
After salvaging a draw against Olila High School on Tuesday, Ajax Queens had a chance to go top of the Victoria group with victory against Eastern Heroes.
However, Eastern Heroes went against all odds to pick a vital 1-0 win in a Fufa Women Elite game played in Soroti on Wednesday.
The game delayed to kickoff for close to an hour with the pitch unmarked while the match officials also arrived late.
