- FUFA Women’s Cup 2019
- Kampala Queens 0-3 Lady Doves
Lady Doves progressed to the quarterfinals of this year’s
The Masindi based team proved dominant on the day sweeping aside Kampala Queens with a 3-0 victory.
Kenyan forward Mary Kinuthia Wanjiku Nafula struck a brace while Winnie Babirye formerly at Kampala Queens added the other goal to help the team advance.
Right from the start, Lady Doves were the better side with Babirye, Wanjiku and Nuru Nakyanzi troubling Kampala Queens’ back line.
On the other hand, the trio of Lillian Mutuuzo, Zaina Namuleme and Monica Namwase were easily tamed by Lady Doves defence commanded by experienced Glads Nakitto.
Wanjiku gave the visitors the lead in the 17th minute with her ferocious strike outside the box going straight to the back of the net.
In the second stanza, Faridah Bulega, the Kampala Queens coach in a bid to find the equaliser brought on veteran midfielder Annet Nakimbugwe but the change didn’t pay off.
Instead, Lady Doves became better to score two more goals, first through Babirye who tucked home in a goal melee.
Wanjiku put the icing on the cake with her second goal on the day. She slotted home when Kampala Queens defender Cissy Nakiguba failed to clear the ball away.
Lady Doves now join Olila High School, Echoes High School, Makerere University, Tooro Queens, Uganda Martyrs High School, Kawempe Junior Team and She Corporates as the teams that qualified for the quarterfinals.
