URA host Simba as log leaders Vipers take on Soana | Uganda Premier League

Fresh from earning a respectable result against South Africa’s Orlando Pirates in the CAF Confederations Cup, URA FC host Simba at Lugazi in the Uganda Premier League.

The U-23 skipper will again be the man expected to lead the hunt for goals for the side with Benson Ociti who also netted a brace in the 3-2 win over Entebbe FC the man to inspire the visitors who still struggle for survival in 15^th position with 20 points.
