Uganda Martyrs Women Football Club moved to the top of the FUFA Women Super League table after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Jinja United Women Football Club on Saturday at Lugogo.
It was the visitors who drew first blood, with Patricia Babirye opening the scoring just eight minutes into the game.
However, Uganda Martyrs restored parity in the 21st minute through Immaculate Nakanjako, who netted her first goal of the season.
Five minutes into the second half, the hosts took the lead when Jinja United’s Janat Babirye turned Moreen Kizza’s cross into her own net.
Uganda Martyrs High School WFC captain Gloria Namugerwa attributed the team’s impressive start to the season to improved preparations and the integration of new players.
“This season, we have changed a lot of things. We have new faces, and they have been good additions to the team. The old players have also done their job. As a team, we have had enough preparations, and what we are achieving is no surprise.
“Before entering any game, we make promises to ourselves and the entire team. We always have one voice, and that is winning the game,” she said.
The victory was Uganda Martyrs’ fourth in six matches, taking them to 13 points at the summit of the table.
Their only defeat came against defending champions Kawempe Muslim, while they were held to a 1-1 draw by She Corporate.
Jinja United, meanwhile, have endured a difficult start to life in the top flight, losing all six of their opening matches and remaining without a point.
