Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Mary Kabaculezi scored midway through the second half to help Kawempe Muslim to a 1-0 home win over Uganda Christian University (UCU) Lady Cardinals in the Fufa Women Super League (FWSL) on Sunday.<\/b><\/p>\n

UCU turned up feisty and tight at the back but struggled to knit things together going forward. That allowed Kawempe, who had started slow, to gather themselves and push forward more in the second half.<\/p>\n

Eventually, the goal came when UCU keeper Hadijah Nalongo slipped, after being pressurized by Kawempe forward Hadijah Babirye, and mishandled a cross from Sharifah Nakirema to allow Kabaculezi to poke home in the 69th minute.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy to open my account and I believe that the goals will now flow,\u201d said Kabaculezi, who was signed from Tooro Queens to lead the team in the absence of Shakirah Nyinagahirwa and Hadijah Nandago \u2013 both on loan at Kampala Queens until January.<\/p>\n

Kawempe\u2019s assistant coach Moses Nkata was happier with the clean sheet from his younger backline which has; Ritah Mushimire take over from Aisha Nantongo \u2013 who is now in Denmark, Nakimera replacing Samalie Nakacwa \u2013 also on loan at KQ, and later needed Susan Nalukoda to fill in when Jolly Kobusinge hobbled off with about 10 minutes to play.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe struggled to defend as a unit. Shadia (Nankya, UCU defender and captain) could clear or start the ball from the back and it would land right in front of our defence. That means our forwards did not try to stop that but in the end the defenders did well and that (clean sheet) will help them grow,\u201d<\/p>\n

Kawempe now go into the two week break leading with six points \u2013 just two ahead of the defending champions KQ who were pegged back in a 2-2 draw with Makerere University.<\/p>\n

Lapses in concentration<\/b><\/p>\n

Fazila Ikwaput put KQ in the lead in the ninth minute and doubled it in the 63rd. But Makerere fought back with an 86th minute goal from captain Josephine Ndagire and a penalty at the death from Immaculate Twesigye leaving KQ coach Charles Ssenyange to rue the lack of concentration from his team.<\/p>\n

That was the same feeling from She Maroons coach Simon Ocuka when he watched his side draw 1-1 against Wakiso Hills on Saturday at Luzira Prison. Jackline Adong had given the hosts a first half lead but Sylvia Namiwanda cancelled it late.<\/p>\n

Goals galore<\/b><\/p>\n

Elsewhere on Saturday, Uganda Martyrs turned a slow start into an emphatic win as Angel Auki, Shamusa Najjuma and Sharon Kanyiginya all scored against Rines while the other rout of the weekend came at Kampala Quality where visitors Lady Doves condemned Asubo to a 4-1 loss on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Margaret Namande, Resty Kobusobozi, Cecilia Apiding and Diana Nantongo scored for Doves while Madina Nakayi pulled one back for Asubo.<\/p>\n
