Head coach for the high flying Rwenzori group leaders of the FUFA Big League side Kiboga Young FC, Felix Kawooya Ssekabuuza boldly asserts the debutant’s key ambition is to fight against the relegation monster.
After a stellar performance in the opening 9 matches where the newcomers remain unbeaten Kawooya maintains they are on duty to avoid being relegated back to the Buganda regional league (third division).
We are not under any sort of pressure to get promoted to the Uganda Premier League. But, rather, we are first playing safe to see that we do not get relegated from the FUFA Big League. The club management, players and fans are all aware of that mission.
Felix Kawooya Ssekabuuza, a CAF C licenced coach
In the opening 9 games of the season, Kiboga Young leads the log with 20 points, one better of second placed Proline.
For starters, Kiboga Young remains unbeaten in all the matches played thus far with the latest game having ended Proline’s winning run following a 2-1 win on the road at the Star Times Stadium last Thursday.
Striker Isaac Otto and Brian Mugume were on target for Kiboga Young before Isma ‘Bajope’ Kabugu pulled a goal back for Proline to create a tense ending to the game.
Their best performance of the season remains that 4-0 home win against seasoned Kireka United.
It will be a battle of two newly promoted clubs in the FUFA Big League when Masindi based Dove visit Kiboga Young at the Bamusussuta High school play ground in Kiboga.
Although, Kiboga Young will miss the services of defender Duncan Ssemakula through accumulated cautions, they have the man power to compete favourably in the game.
Other defenders as Zakayo Kizito, Fred Juuko, Jonathan Muteesa, Abasi Kateregga and Arafat Aganda can combine to execute a great job.
Forwards Otto and Peter Lumoro (formerly at Masavu FC), both with four goals to their name will lead the attack line against Mark Twinamatisko’s charges.
Other players of substance include goalkeepers Shatif Magoola and Charles Katamba, Willy Kalyango, Jamil Kisitu, Brian Mugume, Isaac Kiiza, Moses Wafula, Makoyani and Abrasali Muwonge.
Besides, Kiboga Young – Dove match, there are other games lined up on Thursday.
The other Rwenzori group matches will see Hoima based Kitara will host Ntinda United at the newly laid Kigaya play ground, Bumate United will face Kira United in Bundibungyo and Kansai Plascon will entertain Proline in Mukono.
In the Elgon group, Allan Kabonge’s Entebbe face Ibrahim Kirya’s Wakiso Giants at Wankulukuku, Nebbi Central host Kyetume, Light S.S play UPDF in Amuria and Doves All Stars host Bukedea Town Council in Arua at the Green Light Stadium.
