West Nile’s Big League teams had a dramatic day on the pitch, with mixed results defining the weekend fixtures.
Calvary FC delivered the statement of the day with an emphatic 3-0 away victory over Busoga United. The Yumbe-based side showed no mercy as they dominated proceedings from start to finish, silencing the home crowd and solidifying their status as serious contenders for promotion. With sharp passing, fluid transitions, and clinical finishing, Calvary looked a class above, with goals coming from a brilliant attacking trio that tore apart Busoga's defense.
In Jinja, Onduparaka FC faced a setback, falling 2-1 to Gaddafi FC in a hotly contested match. The Caterpillars, though spirited, couldn't overcome the home side’s early dominance. Onduparaka pulled one back in the second half, raising hopes for a comeback, but Gaddafi held their ground. The result dents Onduparaka's promotion push and raises questions about their away form, which has been inconsistent this season.
Meanwhile, Paidha Black Angels (PBA) earned a hard-fought 2-2 draw away to Ntungassaze. It was a game of two halves, with PBA coming from behind twice to salvage a crucial point on the road. The draw keeps their hopes of climbing up the table alive, though they will need to convert draws into wins if they’re to stay in the Big League survival or promotion conversation.
As the season inches closer to its climax, West Nile's football faithful will be watching keenly, especially as Calvary continues to shine, Onduparaka seeks redemption, and PBA fights to stay in the mix.
More drama awaits in the next round of fixtures.
