DIVISION One league top contenders Mbale Heroes were frustrated on the weekend when their soccer opponents Busamaga turned up with only seven licensed players, then one of them got injured early in the game.

The game was abandoned because football rules state that no side should play with less than seven players.
It turned out minutes to kick off that Busamanga had only seven licensed players and could not field a full team of 11.

Then, barely seven minutes inside the game, one of the players got injured and could not proceed with the game. The referee immediately called off the match.
In earlier games, Kataka beat Islamic University 2-1 while Heroes held CRO 1-1.
