Sharif Ssengendo in action

Buddu has completed the signing of two players, Emmanuel Mwesigwa and winger Sharif Ssengendo.

Mwesigwa is a lanky forward who was at Kyadondo last season and so is Ssengendo.

Ssengendo currently plays for the Eastern Regional League side club Gadaffi FC having previously played at Kawanda and Catda in the Kampala Regional League.

Both players scored four goals apiece last season in the Masaza tournament.

Mwesigwa and Ssengendo join the earlier 16 players released by the management of the 2016 Masaza Cup champions.

Should the health situation normalize (from the Coronavirus pandemic), the 2020 Masaza Cup tournament is anticipated to kick off in mid-June, unless otherwise.

Gomba are the record champions with four titles won in 2004, 2009, 2014 and lately 2017.
