The FUFA Women’s Super League saw a major shakeup today with Matchday 11’s rescheduled games as the league’s dominant force, Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC, suffered their first defeat of the season.
In a thrilling encounter played in Masindi, Lady Doves stunned the previously unbeaten table toppers 3-2. Resty Kobusobozi‘s brace and a crucial strike by Sumaya Nsisi secured all three points for the home side, despite a valiant effort from Kawempe’s Allen Nassazi who netted twice.
This loss marks Kawempe’s first league defeat since November 2022, but they retain their top spot with 28 points, three ahead of second-placed Kampala Queens (with a game in hand).
Lady Doves, meanwhile, climb to sixth with 15 points, distancing themselves from the relegation zone.
Both sides turn their attention to upcoming fixtures – Kawempe hosting Rines SS WFC and Lady Doves welcoming UCU Lady Cardinals, both on Sunday, April 14th.
