Bright Stars drew their third consecutive league game of the new campaign with a draw at Mbarara City.
New team captain Nelson Senkatuka gave the Coachless visitors a lead after just eleven minutes but Eleaza Okorie equalised for the visitors at the stroke half time.
The visitors whose head coach, Fred Kajoba was missing on the touchline due to a four match ban were the better side in the second period but without a breakthrough.
The Matugga based side move a slot up to 8th on the log with 3 points from as many games while Mbarara City move joint top with five points, same as new log leaders KCCA but the Kasasiro have a superior goal difference.
