Vipers Escalate Pace: Allan Okello Leads Perfect Start Domination
Allan Okello was crowned Man of the Match last night

Vipers SC kept their StarTimes Uganda Premier League record spotless, grabbing their fourth straight win with a solid 3–0 victory over Express at Nakivubo on Wednesday night.

After some poor defence, Usama Arafat slipped a pass to Allan Okello on the right, putting Vipers further ahead in the 66th minute.

Vipers prepped for their Saturday match against SC Villa by beating Express 3-0 at Nakivubo Stadium, continuing their streak in the Startimes Uganda Premier League.

Enoch Ssebagala, Allan Okello, and substitute Isaac Ogwang each scored, pushing Vipers up to fourth place with a perfect 12 points.

The score was a bit unfair to Express, who, despite being mostly inexperienced, played well, especially in the first half. Muhammad Ssenoga could have scored, but his header went wide from John Asiimwe’s cross.

Vipers then took advantage of Express's attempts to play out from the back. Enoch Ssebagala easily stole the ball from Express captain Ramsey Kawooya inside his own box.

The midfielder then powerfully shot past Express goalkeeper Ali Mwirusi, who was slow to react, giving Vipers the lead in the 38th minute.

Richard Basangwa hit the crossbar for Express after Vipers failed to clear a corner. They also thought they deserved a penalty when Ssenoga went down after a challenge by Rogers Toorach.

However, referee Joseph Masembe didn't agree, angering the Express players and fans, who threw things at the officials as the teams headed to the locker room.

Then, in the 66th minute, bad defence allowed Usama Arafat to pass to Allan Okello, who made it 2-0 for Vipers by placing the ball past goalie Ali Mwirusi.

Three minutes later, Okello caught his old KCCA teammate Lawrence Bukenya with the ball and set up substitute Ogwang, who confidently finished past Mwirusi, securing the 3-0 win.

Express is now tenth with nine points, and coach Kintu Mwera has a lot of work ahead.

Earlier, substitute Fred Amaku scored a quick hat trick, helping URA crush Buhimba 7-3 in their first game since firing Alex Isabirye.

Joseph Ssemujju, Nelson Senkatuka, Nelson Kisiriko, and Kabon Living also scored for URA, now coached temporarily by Edward Golola.

This was Buhimba’s fifth straight loss after they had a terrific start of three wins in a row.

She Cranes Crush Zimbabwe 60-38 in Africa Netball Cup

Uganda's She Cranes played a great game, beating Zimbabwe's Gems 60-38 in their second Africa Netball Cup match.

After a tied first quarter, the She Cranes took charge and won their second game in a row in Lilongwe, Malawi.

The first quarter was close, ending 12-12, which hinted at a tough match. But Uganda quickly turned things around and controlled the next three quarters.

After narrowly defeating Kenya 46-45 in their first game, the She Cranes began the second quarter by scoring off an early turnover to take a two-goal lead. They kept the pressure on the Gems, forcing three turnovers in four minutes, but Zimbabwe managed to stay close.

As halftime approached, defenders Gloria Aya and Shaffie Nalwanja made important intercepts, helping Uganda increase their lead to 26-20 at the half.

In the third quarter, Uganda really found their groove. The defence, with Shaffie, Aya, and Kadondi, was tough, causing many turnovers as Zimbabwe struggled with Uganda’s intensity. Lillian Achola's entry at wing attack brought speed and accuracy to the shooters, and the Gems had no answers.

Goal shooter Shadia Nassanga's accurate shots helped Uganda increase their lead, outscoring Zimbabwe by a large margin and entering the final quarter ahead 45-26.

In the final quarter, the She Cranes kept up their strong defence and smooth play. The Gems seemed overwhelmed and made more mistakes. Uganda could have won by an even bigger difference, but a slight lack of focus on offence in the last five minutes caused them to lose three centre passes. Even so, Nakitto's fresh energy on defence made sure Zimbabwe never caught up.

Uganda easily secured a 59-38 win, their second in two games.

The She Cranes will now rest before playing Namibia on Thursday to finish their group games.

Meanwhile, Uganda’s men’s team, The Rock, plays Zimbabwe tomorrow after beating Botswana 40-39 earlier today in their first match.
