Uganda Martyrs will play Nkumba while Kampala University will take on Makerere in the Nile Special University Football League semifinal mid next week.

Draws for the last four were held at Kati kati restaurant on Tuesday with all the coaches promising to do their best to outdo their opponents in the fight for the six year old title.

The fixture between Nkumba and Uganda Martyrs has left Nkumba coach Patrick Sebuliba believing that they have a chance to qualify.

"We are ready to discipline them. They know what result to expect from us," Sebuliba said. Nkumba will host Uganda Martyrs in the first leg on November 2.

As a number of guests left the draws venue, the unanimous opinion including that of Kampala University coach Vincent Tumusiime was about their semifinal fixture with Makerere University.

"It will be like the final for all of us. Whoever wins here will likely take the trophy in the final. It will depend on our technical and tactical approach to the games," Tumusiime said of the game that returns to Maroons grounds in Luzira on November 3, for fear of fans rowdiness.

University body's president and Makerere University tutor Peninnah Kabenge appealed to fans, players and officials to protect the games.

Return leg of the semifinals will be played on November 9 and 10 while the third place playoff and the final will be at Namboole, November 19.
