Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Kitara Football fraternity is mourning the death of a 17-year-old footballer who perished in a horrifying accident on Friday night at Kakindo on the Masindi-Hoima road.<\/b><\/p>\n

The teenager identified by the club as Timothy Kyomuhendo was in the company of six other fans who were travelling in a private car from Masindi where their team had defeated Soltilo Bright Stars 3-1 in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League.<\/p>\n

Nelson Senkatuka had given Bright Stars an early second-minute lead in the game but a man-of-the-match performance by Paul Mucureezi who scored a brace and a goal by Jude Ssemugabi sent the Kitara fans into frenzy.<\/p>\n
