Bunha FC’s head coach, Bosco Mugerwa, described the match as fair and promised fans a win against Bulamogi on July 27. “We had plenty of chances, but couldn’t convert. My players gave it their all,” added Mugerwa, who previously coached Butembe FC.
Striker Ashraf Maganda was more confident, boldly predicting a 3-0 victory in their next outing.
Across three venues, Sunday's fixtures delivered one win and two draws.
