FUFA Big League (Rwenzori Group): Monday, 18th April 2016
Jinja – Kirinya S.S Vs Proline – Nakivubo Stadium (4:30 p.m)
When Proline and perennial big league outfit, Kirinya – Jinja S.S face off on Monday evening, the home side shall be seeking their first ever victory in the past four meetings.
For the three times the two clubs have squared off, Kirinya – Jinja S.S has been victorious.
The last win was the 1-0 result last year in Jinja when James ‘Demba’ Otim scored the lone goal on the day to win.
“It is the game of life or death. It is our decider and we hope to give the best energies for the positive result” Kirinya-Jinja S.S official mouth piece, Paul ‘Brazilian’ Kulumba who also works at 87.7 Baba F.M in Jinja swears.
Proline leads the Rwenzori group of the FUFA Big league with an enviable margin off the catching pack of Kirinya-Jinja S.S and Masavu.
“We are treating every match with the significance it accords. Like we have always done, we handle every match like it comes” Baker Mbowa, head coach at Proline asserts.
Key Players:
With the Big league top scorer, Edrisa ‘Torres’ Lubega firing on all cylinders (18 goals to his name), stakes are high Jinja S.S’ backline will be out to watch the burly youthful forward.
His partner in crime, Fahad Bayo has also hurt the opposition where it mattered most.
Anchorman David Kamista, Gift ‘Gigi’ Ali, Joseph Mandela, team captain Simon Mbaziira, the intelligent though pint sized creative gems Noordin Bunjo and Hanson Assimwe are sure cards for team Proline in the middle of the pack.
Their backline has the Uganda Hippos’ goalie, Keni Saidi, right back Richard Asiku, Ibra Ssendi and Denis Bigala Makoba in central defence as well as the free roving left back, Simon Namwanja.
On the other hand, Latom Ikara or Joel ‘Vama’ Mutakubwa require only a dice throw to decide who will keep the goal posts for the footballing students.
Livingstone ‘C4’ Mulondo, Anthony Mayanja, Godfrey Akol and the anchoring skipper George Kasonko are expected to provide the defensive shield for the visitors.
Mr Reliable, James ‘Demba’ Otim, and the ever fresh dancing left winger Musa Magumba are the trusted wide-men for the coach Abbey Kikomeko’s side, meanwhile, Mark Bamukyaye supplies the defence splitters to Joel Madondo, the team’s top marksman with six goals.
The winner of the tie will cast self in the spotlight for promotion with a couple of games left on the rooster.
