Pilsner Monthly Awards: Ssenyondo, Kitata Were Untouchables in Months of September, October

Kitara FC’s Brian Ssenyondo and Alex Kitata of BUL have won the Pilsner Coach and Player of the Month of September/October awards respectively.

The pair picked their plaques and cash at Kati Kati Restaurant in Kampala on Wednesday evening.

Ssenyondo beat off competition from coach Abbey Kikomeko of BUL and NEC’s Hussein Mbalangu.

For the players, Kitata prevailed over Maroons striker Fred Amaku and Kitara’s Denis Omedi. All three scored as many goals in the said months but Kitata also had two assists.

Both Ssenyondo’s Kitara and Kikomeko’s BUL won all their opening five StarTimes Uganda Premier League (SUPL) matches to top standings on 15 points apiece, then.
