FWSL: A ‘Juma’ Enough for Olila as Kawempe Perfectly Starts at Home
Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC perfectly start the season at home with a 5-0 victory against Olila High School WFC.
The morning encounter on Friday at Kawempe Muslim Secondary School Playground saw Rebecca Nakato, Agnes Nabukenya and Shakirah Nyinagahirwa appearing on the score sheet.
In 12 minutes of the game, Agnes Nabukenya put the Valley Warriors in the lead with a hard shot, 25 yards from the goal, the Olila High School custodian Akite Esther recklessly handled the ball that went off her hands and hit the net.
Four minutes later, Hadija Nandago came with a simple tap in, converting a cross from the left flank to double Kawempe’s lead in the 16th minute.
With a brilliant display from Kawempe side, Agnes Nabukenya released a well positioned Nakato Rebecca who slotted in the ball and made it three for Kawempe and the first stanza went to the break with Ayub’s side comfortably at the top.
Like the did in the first stanza, again Kawempe enjoyed the ball possession giving no allowance to Olila’s forwards to make their trademark runs on both flanks.
In the 52nd minute, Shakirah Nyinagahirwa went on score sheet before Nakato Rebecca returned to complete her brace in the 69th minute with a superb strike.
“As players, we much wanted this win, we didn’t start well on road, so we had to work as a team to see that we win our home game and we did it.” Said Agnes Nabukenya, a youthful player who got involved in three goals on the day, scoring one and assisting twice.
Her boss, Ayub Khalifa asserted that his team played well and the main target this season is to win all the nine home games and few on the road.
“We won the game, thank Allah, the girls played as a team, good start for us. We are playing against Makerere on Sunday but our main target this season is to win all the home games and few on road.”
Olila High became the second club this season to concede five goals, the first was newcomers Asubo Gafford who lost 5-0 against Kampala Queens and 5-3 against Uganda Martyrs but Olila’s Gillian Akandinda put blame to fatigue.
“We traveled late, we didn’t get enough time to rest and even to train, so the players had fatigue, we couldn’t even make runs because of that, we didn’t play, our midfield was so silent and you midfield is the heart of the team, if it doesn’t work, automatically you lose the game. But in our next game, we going to see that we rectify those mistakes.” Said Gillian Akandinda.
Kawempe Muslim will pay a short visit to Makerere University on Sunday while Olila High will again be on road visiting wounded Asubo-Gafford Ladies at Kampala Quality, all games at 10am.
