Ndejje, Makerere make bright UFL starts

Ndejje University joined Makerere University at the top of group B following a 1-0 win over Kumi University in Pepsi University Football League action played in Kumi on Saturday afternoon.

Clement Ebasu got the all-important goal in the 37th minute heading in a corner from the right to silence the home crowd in Kumi.

Derrick Waduuma gave Busitema a 32^nd minute lead that they held onto before IUIU’s late show that saw Dennis Onongo get the equalizer eight minutes from time.

There was still time for a winner with Ismael Tamubula getting the decisive goal in the 85^th minute for the Haruna Kebba-coached side.

Group D enters the fray on Sunday with an encounter between Gulu University and Bugema University in Gulu.
