FUFA Juniors League (U19) 2018/19
Sunday 21st Octber 2018
Nyamityobora FC JT vs Express FC JT
Ntare grounds – Mbarara 4:00 pm

The Under 19s will play their first away match of the season on Sunday 21st against Western Uganda side Nyamityobora at Ntare Grounds

The Red Eaglets have played so far two games both at home against Mbarara City and SC Villa losing 2-0 and drawing 1-1 respectively

Captain Desmond Kanene scored their only goal of the season from the spot after Eddie Sebandeke’s cross was handled in the box by a Villa defender but the visitors were pumped up for the second half and equalised immediately. Derrick Lubega had a chance to give the Red Eaglets all three points but his weak effort was saved by the keeper after going through on goal.

The Reds will be looking to more experienced players like Billy Nkata who has had some experience with the first team but he is yet to get off the mark despite starting both two games for the Red Eaglets. Captain Desmond Kanene will also be a great inspiration in midfield as well as goalkeeper Allan Atugonza.

The Western Uganda side are playing their first season in the Juniors league having qualified to play in the Premier league this season.
The hosts have only one point this season but lost their last game 8-0 to Kirinya Jinja SSS in Jinja and they lie last on the 8-team table in the hat trick group.

A loss to the Red Eaglets will help Nyamityobora leapfrog them and the Red Eaglets will be the last on the table with only one point in 3 games. This is a statistic which will give the Eaglets a fighting spirit to get all three points and move to 4 points.
