Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The winners were straightforward from the weekend’s StarTimes Uganda Premier League action.<\/p>\n

On paper, KCCA versus URA at the MTN Omondi Stadium on Saturday was the weekend’s headline match.<\/p>\n

But a less inspiring 1-1 draw, Julius Poloto’s 69th minute equaliser after former KCCA striker Derrick Nsibambi had come off the bench to put URA ahead, was all they could show.<\/p>\n

Gains belonged somewhere in Wakiso, Kitende and Arua.<\/p>\n

Smooth Giants <\/b><\/p>\n

Some well coordinated football continued at the Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium with Wakiso Giants star man Ibrahim Kasule on song again.<\/p>\n

The stylish midfielder was dominant, beautifully opening Gaddafi’s defence for Rahmat Senfuka’s goal in Wakiso Giants 2-0 victory on Friday.<\/p>\n

Kasule had his colleagues pour forward, then suddenly turned, twisting a Gaddafi player and releasing Moses Aliro, whose rebounded shot was turned in by Senfuka on 76 minutes.<\/p>\n

Shariph Kimbowa had earlier put the hosts ahead with a 43rd minute penalty.<\/p>\n

Wakiso Giants, whose only defeat in eight matches remains a 3-2 loss away to KCCA on the opening day, opened a three-point lead at the top on 17 with Friday’s victory.<\/p>\n

Coach John Luyinda boys’ movement on and off the ball is at times a joy to watch, with Titus Ssematimba, Hassan Ssenyonjo, Kasule and Lawrence Bukenya always in the plot.<\/p>\n

Unstoppable Sentamu <\/b><\/p>\n

Two places below them in third are champions Vipers SC.<\/p>\n

The Venoms’ steady climb has seen them win three in a row, including Friday’s 4-0 thrashing of UPDF at St Mary’s Kitende to move to 14 points.<\/p>\n

Prolific Yunus Sentamu was the chief executioner, grabbing the season’s second hat-trick after Alex Kitata’s in Gaddafi’s 3-0 win over Bright Stars over a week ago.<\/p>\n

Sentamu’s treble brought him level on five goals with Express’ Allan Kayiwa on the scoring charts. Rogers Adriko’s own goal started his UPDF side’s torment.<\/p>\n

Villa make up on the pitch <\/b><\/p>\n

Away at Arua Hill, the home side lost their home unbeaten run this season, thanks to Charles Bbaale’s penalty for SC Villa’s 1-0 victory on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Villa\u2019s fifth win in eight matches would have sent them three places up to second on 16 points.<\/p>\n

But two deducted points on Friday for the other week\u2019s fan violence at the Jogoos home defeat to Wakiso Giants meant they would not.<\/p>\n

Instead, coach Jackson Magera\u2019s boys moved just one place up to dislodge KCCA from fourth on 14 points.<\/p>\n
