The Entebbe derby between Masavu F.C and former Uganda Premier League side Entebbe F.C lived to the anticipated billing.
With a big crowd keenly following the match, egos and tensions on and off Sandy Katabi field of play were bound to erupt.
Former Uganda U-17 CECAFA winning striker, Kenneth Tumusiime drove a low left footed effort past a diving Andrew Ssekandi in the Entebbe goal posts for the only goal on the day, a minute to the half time break.
Tumusiime, a former Entebbe F.C player was later withdrawn for Abasi Kateregga in the early minutes of the second half.
Entebbe F.C would have made amends but missed glaring scoring opportunities through Peter Roch Somoka and the on colour Ddumba Sadala.
The only ugly moment after the match was when a group of Entebbe F.C players attacked the match referees led by Lydia Namubiru but security acted swiftly to arrest the situation.
Masavu F.C now goes second on the log with leaders, Proline F.C maintaining their winning touch following a 2-1 away victory at Wakiso United.
Edris Lubega scored his 13th and 14th goals of the campaign with a well taken brace on the day.
Proline lead the Rwenzori Group with a comfortable 36 points, seven points adrift of the second placed Masavu who have played a game less. Kirinya Jinja S.S is third with 27 points from 14 games played.
Elsewhere, Wandegeya won 2-0 at home against visiting Masaka side, Synergy F.C Strikers, Shafiq Mulangira and former SC Villa forward Joseph Kayiira scored a goal in each half for Wandegeya at their Kanyanya fortress.
In the Western region affair, Kasese New Villa continued their desperate quest against relegation with a hard fought 2-1 away win over Sun City at the dusty Nyakasanga play ground in the heart of Kasese Municipality.
In the Elgon Group, Paidha Black Angels won 3-0 at the Bar Okoro play ground in Zombo district to keep pressure on their West Nile nemesis side, Onduparaka F.C.
Stephen Mwaka with arguably the fastest goal of the season opened the scoring for the home side. Abraham Ogussi and second half substitute Victor Aweko sealed the victory for Paidha to keep a close eye on run away leaders, Onduparaka Football club.
Artland Katale was held to a one-all draw by visiting Boma Young, Water F.C registered a slim 1-0 victory over a very physical side, Bukedea Town Council and Busia Fisheries were 1-0 home winners over Kira Young.
