The battle for the top marksman accolade is hotting up too, with two Congolese imports armed for the kill.<\/p>\n<p>Second-placed Vipers head to Kavumba Recreation Grounds this afternoon to face Soltilo Bright Stars seeking to cut the four-point deficit on leaders KCCA.<\/p>\n<p>Lanky forward Ceasar Manzoki, who netted the solitary goal in their last win over Tooro United to make it six goals so far, is pursuing more than just victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy first objective is to help the team win the title. But it is my personal goal to perform better than last season and compete for the golden boot,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tooro faced with Golola puzzle<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Tied on six goals with URA\u2019s Cromwell Rwothomio and KCCA\u2019s Davis Kasirye, Manzoki is one better than striking partner Yunus Sentamu, who he lauds for accelerating his work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is always good to play with the best and Yunus is one of them. We enjoy playing together,\u201d the forward said.<\/p>\n<p>The top scorer\u2019s race inevitably draws in Express\u2019 Eric Kambale, who finished just a goal shy of Sentamu\u2019s 16 last campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo compete with Eric makes me happy because he\u2019s a longtime brother. To see him evolve and perform makes me proud. He has been attentive to all the advice given to him,\u201d Manzoki said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the curious case of coach Edward Golola could be answered as the tactician says he will be back in the Tooro United dugout.<\/p>\n<p>Golola, who missed the 1-0 defeat to Vipers for \u201cpersonal reasons, is up for the relegation dogfight with Police, who will be without coach Abdallah Mubiru.<\/p>\n<p><b>[email protected]<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
