Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Lady Doves meet the highly rated Tanzania champions Simba Queens this afternoon in the zonal qualifiers of the inaugural Caf Women\u2019s Champions League at Kasarani Stadium \u2013 Nairobi.<\/p>\n

The goal for the two sides, who scored freely in their openers over Djibouti\u2019s FAD and Burundi\u2019s PVP Buyenzi, will be to get the easier draw from a tricky Group B in the semis.<\/p>\n

Group B has already served the shockers with South Sudan\u2019s Yei Join Stars, playing in a newly set up league, upsetting Zanzibar\u2019s New Generation 2-1 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

That was just before the well known Loza Abera \u2013 a multiple tormentor of Uganda\u2019s national team at Cecafa and Olympic qualifiers \u2013 led Central Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) to a 4-2 win over the host country\u2019s Vihiga Queens.<\/p>\n

In fact the Uganda national team contingent in the squad will be watching Abera and her Ethiopian counterparts closely as they meet again in the October two-legged Africa Women\u2019s Cup of Nation (AWCON) first-round qualifiers.<\/p>\n

The winner in that match will face off with the winner between South Sudan and Kenya in the second round for a place in the finals due next year in Morocco.<\/p>\n

Real business<\/p>\n

Back to Nairobi, both Group A sides; Doves and Simba, will fancy themselves to beat PVP and FAD respectively to conclude the group stages on September 3.<\/p>\n

So since head-to-head results matter first in deciding the group table leaders in this tournament, the business has to be done today.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot afford to get into the mathematics, we just want to win our games and leave the rest to others,\u201d associate coach Rajab Buyinza, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll teams here are national champions so there is no need to undermine anyone. We have to be competitive in all duels and encounters. We have to give it our all,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Captain and goalkeeper Daisy Nakaziro noted that the Tanzanian side\u2019s \u201cfast-paced attackers will definitely give us a good test. But we are sure of overcoming it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doves will want to pose questions of their own and could welcome versatile forward Spencer Nakacwa into the starting lineup, in place of the 15-year old Jowelia Nagadya.<\/p>\n

Nakacwa\u2019s cameo appearance in the second half on Saturday helped helped the Doves change their attack formation, with the team stretching their lead from 2-0 to 5-0 over FAD.<\/p>\n
