Vipers intensified their preparations for the 2017/2018 Azam Uganda Premier League season with a 3-1 victory in a friendly match with Hima FC at Hima Cement play ground in Kasese over the weekend.

The venoms came from a goal down to win the game as their tour came to an end.

The home side opened the lead in the 23rd minute through a penalty after Vipers defender Yayo Lutimba handled the ball in the box.

But minutes later Vipers levelled matters through Tony Odur's equaliser off  Yayo Lutimba's assist.

New signing Mousa Mbayi  who came in as substitute  for  Lutimba, gave Vipers the lead when he tapped in a Brian Nkuubi's assist to make it 2-1 in the second half.

Ashraf Mandela  who had earlier  missed a  clear scoring opportunity  scored Vipers third goal.
