Mugabi happy for winning Wakiso Giants debut

Goal keeper Yasin Mugabi enjoyed a wonderful start to the Wakiso Giants career as his side beat Bukedea Town Council 1-0 at home in the FUFA Big League on Saturday. Steven Bengo scored the only goal of the game in the opening stanza as the Purple Sharks consolidated their Elgon group lead. “I am happy that we won on my debut. It was a good game and it is exciting that I kept a clean sheet. Bukedea missed a few chances to rue but thank God we won,” noted Mugabi. Still unbeaten, this was Wakiso Giants’ 9^th win in 14 matches, taking them to 32 points, six clear of second placed Kyetume FC that earlier thumped Kataka 4-2 on Thursday. Meanwhile, Kitara’s chase for the play-off slot fell further after a 2-2 home draw against Water. Nebbi central and Doves All Stars settled for a barren draw in the West Nile derby. The Ibrahim Kirya side now shifts focus to Stanbic Uganda Cup quarter final clash where they visit Kyetume on Sunday, March 10 at the Nakisunga grounds.
