Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Kawempe\u2019s assistant coach Moses Nkata has called on his stars; captain Phionah Nabulime and top scorer Agnes Nabukenya to stand up and be counted, again, as the Fufa Women Super League (FWSL).<\/b><\/p>\n

The duo have struggled for form in the recent past as Kawempe look to win their first league title since 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey put us in this (trophy hunting) position with the kind of top performances that they put up in the first round and now the stage is set for them for them to complete the job,\u201d Nkata said in the aftermath of their laboured 2-0 win over Kawempe division rivals Asubo Ladies.<\/p>\n

Asubo had already been relegated before they turned up in Kawempe on Sunday and without the burden of pressure, played some of their best football this season to nullify Kawempe. But they were broken in the 86th minute by substitute Esther Nangendo\u2019s close range finish from Samalie Nakacwa\u2019s corner kick delivery and another replacement Rhodah Nanziri also scored a stunner from distance in stoppage time to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n

A Kawempe fan on X tweeted in local dialect \u201cNangendo amanyi tuli mu lugendo\u201d to greet the goal \u2013 translating to Nangedo knows we are on a journey (perhaps a journey to the title).<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted. The coach told me, “Go and do you,” and I am happy I got a very important goal that still puts the competition in our control,\u201d Nangendo, a generational prodigy that has her minutes curtailed because of school at King’s College Budo, said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Cup\u2019 final<\/b><\/p>\n

Kawempe now have a chance to win the title in front of their fans for the first time ever as past titles were won away from home when the league had playoffs.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, over 16km South East at Luzira Prisons, Kampala Queens (KQ) were making light work of hosts She Maroons whose coach Simon Ocuka thought it wise to rest four of his regular starters to a side that had already beaten them twice this season, including a 5-1 battering in the first round of the league. KQ won 3-0, courtesy of goals from Shamirah Nalugya, Zainah Nandede and Anitah Namata, to set up a \u2018final\u2019 with Kawempe.<\/p>\n

Kawempe can do with a draw but the defending champions must win to become the second side to take back-to-back leagues.<\/p>\n

UCU go down<\/b><\/p>\n

In Wakiso, a rare brace from Catherine Wujja put paid to Uganda Christian University (UCU) Lady Cardinals\u2019 10 seasons in the topflight. The relegation of the 2018\/2019 champions leaves Kawempe as the only one of the inaugural 12 league sides from 2015 that are yet to face to drop or become extinct altogether.<\/p>\n

Jovia Nakagolo, one of the only shining lights in UCU\u2019s season that also has a semi-final contest in the Fufa Women Cup coming up, scored their only goal.<\/p>\n

The UCU loss meant that Makerere University and Wakiso Hill were saved despite 1-1 draws away to Uganda Martyrs High School (UMHS) Lubaga and Lady Doves in Masindi respectively.<\/p>\n

Noeline Namiiro scored for Makerere while Brenda Munyana scored for UMHS. Zaitun Namaganda\u2019s 70th minute goal for Wakiso was cancelled by a 90th minute own goal by her teammate Fatuma Nakasumba.<\/p>\n
