By Daniel Saire OFFICIALS of SC Villa, Express and KCC, have told League sponsors Nile Breweries Limited to increase the funding or they quit the deal. Express secretary Kavuma Kabenge, chairman of the teams' association VEK, said they would only honour the Nile Special Super League deal if the money was increased. Clubs under the NSSL, get sh5m a year as well as two sets of uniforms from Nile Breweries. Kavuma denied that their decision was done in bad faith saying other clubs could join them. The New Vision revealed yesterday that Uganda Breweries Limited had staked a sh300m bid to sponsor the three clubs. Representatives of the clubs meet Nile chief executive officer Henry Rudd today at Wandegeya. Ends.
