Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Sam Ssimbwa has a chance to drive Kitara back to the driving seat in the Startimes Fufa Big League when they face Booma on Friday.<\/p>\n

Kitara finished the first round at the top but slip to a goalless draw away to Northern Gateway to allow Nec leap to the top.<\/p>\n

The coach now has a clear opportunity to reclaim the lead after Police edged Nec 1-0 in Kavumba on Thursday. Emmanuel Mugume latched on to a failed clearance off a Bernardo Kateregga’s cross to tap in the winner.<\/p>\n

“Our strategy was to kill their wings and that paid in the first half with a goal as bonus,” Angelo Lonyesi, Police’s head coach explained his masterplan for the game.<\/p>\n

The result lifts the Cops into the green spaces for the first time this season. They’re currently tied on 33 points with Nec but have scored lesser goals.<\/p>\n

Ssimbwa’s chance<\/b><\/p>\n

Kitara now have an extra motivation to carry the day today in the Kitara derby after sealing a shs50m sponsorship from Kinyara Sugar Limited earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

Coach Ssimbwa, whose team struggled to overcome Uganda Pentecostal University in the Stanbic Uganda Cup on Wednesday, will need his strikers to be at their best.<\/p>\n

“We’re targeting the three points from the game, it being my first [League] game at home. I believe we’re very ready for the task,” Ssimbwa noted.<\/p>\n
