• YMCA 0-0 Uganda Christian University (UCU)

Group B:

• Victoria University 0-0 Kumi University

Group E:

• International University of East Africa (IUEA) 2-1 University of Kisubi (UNIK)

YMCA and Uganda Christian University (UCU) played to a goal-less draw in group C of the 2024 University Football League (UFL) on Monday, 30^th September.

In a match played at the Buwambo playground, both sides tried to create goal scoring opportunities, though, no break-through could be attained.

This was the second draw for these two universities in pool C that also has St Lawrence University and Kabale University.

A point between the two teams means that both YMCA and UCU have not yet won a game this season given that they drew their opening games.

This leaves either Kabale University or St. Lawrence with an opportunity to take charge of Group C when they face off.

On Sunday, Victoria University and Kumi University also played to goalless draw at Makerere University playground in group B.

In group E, International University of East Africa (IUEA) overcame University of Kisubi (UNIK) 2-1.

Solomon Esegu and Cyprian Okello scored the goals for International University of East Africa in the 15^th and 29^th minutes respectively.

Peter Bukenya notched the consolation for UNIK in the 68^th minute.

The league continues on Tuesday, 1^st October 2024 when Bugema University hosts Kampala University at the Bugema playground in group D.
