Butambala became the first team to register a victory in the 2026 Plascon powered Buganda Masaza Cup after defeating Mawogola 1-0 in the Muganzirwazza Group on Saturday, June 20.
New recruit Dathan Mubiru, who joined from Buddu, scored the lone goal that separated the two sides at Kibibi Secondary School as both teams began their 2026 campaign.
The tournament had kicked off a week earlier with a goalless draw between reigning champions Buwekula and Kyadondo at the National Teachers College in Mubende on Saturday, June 13.
Saturday’s action also featured a second match in which Bulemeezi earned an away point after a 1-1 draw with Ssese at Lutoboka Ssaza Ground in the opening game of the Masengere Group.
