Uganda Cup: Boma Young skips trip to Water F.C

Uganda Cup (Round of 32):  Water Vs Boma Young (The visiting team failed to travel for the match at Kisubi Technical playground, Entebbe)

Hoima based side Boma Young failed to honour their round of 32 Uganda Cup match that was scheduled to be played at the Kisubi Technical playground off the Kampala – Entebbe Highway. The match was slated for Thursday.

According to Khawa Kajabagu, the director cum coach of Boma Young, he failed to raise the travel funds.

When he informed FUFA at the 11^th hour (calling for a postponement), the plea was turned down.

On Wednesday, I informed FUFA that I could not be able to transport the side but they (Competitions director) told me that it was late for a postponement since the rules call for a 48 hour announcement.

Water Football Club, coached by Vialli Bainomugisha thus stands to advance for the round of 16 stage that already has the likes of  KCCA, Express, Buganda regional sides Kyetume and Kiboga Young, Fort Portal Boda Boda, Sadolin Paints, JMC Hippos, Police and Uganda Revenue Authority football club and last year’s losing finalists, Onduparaka F.C.

After the full round of 32 games, the draws for the round of 16 stage will be held at FUFA House in Kampala.

Vipers Sports Club is the defending champion of the Uganda Cup.
