Derrick Lubega’s first half strike was enough to secure all three points for the Red Eaglets away in Jinja.

The league had taken a long break due to the AFCON U17 tournament which ended last month in Tanzania where our left back Kevin Ssekimbegga was part of the Uganda Cubs team.

Lubega started in attack alongside Eddie Ssebandeke and Peter Bright Olwedo.

The Red Eaglets took the first half lead and managed to maintain the pressure from the hosts until the halftime whistle.

The second half started and the hosts continued to attack as the Red Eaglets kept being organized at the back and goalkeeper Sadat Mugenyi commanded his back line well.

The Red Eaglets are now 5th on the 8-team log in the Hattrick group with 21 points from 14 games.

What next for the Eaglets?

They will be back in action on Sunday 2nd June against Bright Stars U19s at Royal Giants SSS in Mityana. The game will kick off at 4pm.
