Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Kawempe Muslim striker Sharon Nadunga says the top scorer\u2019s log \u201clooks good\u201d with her name on top of it.<\/p>\n

This was after her brace \u2013 with goals in either half \u2013 led Kawempe to a 2-0 win over Kampala Queens (KQ) in their first match of the Fufa Women Elite League (FWSL).<\/p>\n

However, it is early days and Nadunga has to prove that she can be more consistent than she has been in the past seasons.<\/p>\n

Coach Ayub Khalifa immediately bestowed the pressure on the 25-year old after Kawempe lost star striker Juliet Nalukenge to a professional club in Cyprus.<\/p>\n

And she takes on a responsibility that has also been previously given to household names in the women\u2019s game like Sandra Nabweteme \u2013 who was watching on the sidelines and Hasifa Nassuna \u2013 now at Uganda Christian University and seven goals shy of a league century.<\/p>\n

Initially, it looked like the role would go Allen Nasaazi, who scored the most goals (five) for Kawempe in the shortened version of the FWSL last year but the budding forward is set to occupy a role on the record topflight champions have also lost Margaret Kunihira.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank God first for the win,\u201d Nadunga said after the game<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then the coaches for believing in me. I have promised them that if they put their trust in me, I will repay the faith.<\/p>\n

The target is to keep scoring for the entire season and I promise that we will work hard as a unit to ensure it is possible,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Kawempe well coached<\/p>\n

The win meant a lot to Kawempe not only because it boosted the confidence of the squad given the players that have left but also because there was a lot of pre-match hype about the players KQ had signed like Shamirah Nalugya and Zaina Nandede, who did not play.<\/p>\n

While KQ looked a collection of \u2018galaticos\u2019 new and old, Kawempe counted on the midfield presence of diminutive players Hadija Nandago and Shakirah Nyinagahirwa.<\/p>\n

But also the ability of youngsters like Nasaazi and Halimah Kampi, both 17, to fit into an expansive football system.<\/p>\n
