Jogoos make low key entry

By Peter Ekarot SC Villa ejected from the CAF champions league, returns to the drawing board to start its long hunt for local honours in the Nile Special Super league and Sportsman Kakungulu Cup. Villa was expected back last night from Lagos after 3-0 beating by Nigeria's Julius Berger and missed out of the CAF champions' league mini-league that fetches sh360m on entry. This again marked the end of Ugandan campaign after KCC was bundled out in the CAF Cup while Military Police, was not only eliminated in the Africa Cup Winners Cup, but also were fined $1,500 and banned for three years. The Jogoos, who started the international campaign in the CECAFA club cup and were stopped at the semi final stage, will now take on Chicago United on June 6 at Nakivubo and June 10 host Mbale Heroes in the league. Villa who are also the cup holders for the Sportsman Kakungulu cup start the cup defence in July after the event kicks off next month with qualifiers. Villa missed inspirational left winger Alimansi Kadogo on CAF suspension while coach Paul Hasule joined his boys late after a sick bout held him back. Berger defence held together by skipper Ambrose Duru while midfield dynamo Hakim Magumba and swift striker Andrew Mukasa were tight marked and that early goal strategy thwarted. Meanwhile, Kenyan teams Tusker and Oserian had painful exist that allowed their Tunisian opponents to advance on away goal rule. Tusker conceded a 90-minute goal to lose 1-0 for a 2-2 aggregate that saw Esperance advance after 2-1 defeat in Nairobi. In Nakuru, Oserian Fastac struck 4-2, but their 2-0 defeat away saw Etoile du Sahel advance in CAF cup on 4-4 aggregate. The ejection of Yanga, meant all east African teams are out.
