Masavu Football Club registered their fourth victory of the season in a form of a 2-1 win against Arua side Onduparaka at the Fisheries Training Institute playground on Tuesday.

A goal in each half by forwards Abraham Ndugwa and Sadala Ddumba propelled the home side to the much desired win, their second at home.

Ddumba scored the opener in the 36th minute after controlling  a goal bound shot from Charles Odeke before calmly finishing past goalkeeper Nicholas Ssebwato from close range.
