Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) Football Club subjected newly promoted Nyamityobora FC to a 2-0 defeat during a pre-season warm up game played at Kakyeka stadium, Mbarara on Saturday.

Pint sized though immensely gifted left footed midfielder Moses Sseruyidde perfectly struck a free-kick from 30 yards for the opening goal via a free-kick.

The visiting tax collectors’ side doubled the advantage in the second stanza when Nyamityobora goalkeeper Hillary Jomi poorly controlled a back pass before the ball rolled into the next.

This was yet another build up for Sam Ssimbwa’s URA following a high profile match against Tanzanian giants Azam at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole.

For Nyamityobora, a club managed by former Uganda Cranes winger James Odoch, this was a perfect preparatory measure ahead of their Pilsner FUFA Super 8 duel with Kirinya-Jinja S.S on Tuesday, 7th August 2018 at Kakyeka Stadium.

To that effect, Nyamityobora has named their full squad ahead of the pre-season tournament.

Nyamityobora full squad:

  • Goalkeepers: Franco Oringa, Hillary Jomi, Saddam Ogwang
  • Defenders: Misi Katende, Alex Komakech, Dominic Ssempiira, Muzafaru Ssenyonji, John Paul Acire
  • Midfielders: Martin Arinaitwe, Godfrey Ssembatya, Julien Mayange, Kevin Lamech Ebong, Moses Ndawula, Edward Kawooya, Brian Mugisha, Buruhan Matovu, Bronson Ssemurumira, Ivan Mbowa, Johnwesley Kisakye
  • Strikers: Patrick Gonahasa, Joseph Akandwanaho, Charles Ssebutinde, David Kiiza, Charles Musiige
