In the top of the table clash played at IUIU Ground, Kabojja on Saturday, Kampala Queens registered a 4-1 win.

The two teams came into the game unbeaten after three games with Uganda Martyrs in second place on seven points, two behind Kampala Queens.

However, the gap in quality was evident on Saturday with the home side running riot in a game played under the rain.

Resty Nanziri continued with her brilliant start to the season by bagging a brace on the day, against her former team.

In the other games played on Saturday, Lady Doves defeated Rines SS 5-0 in Wakiso.
