This weekend, BUL Football Club, the Uganda Premier League’s third ranked team, play away to URA FC, the top-flight’s fourth lowest ranked side at the Arena of Visions. It is BUL FC’s fifth game of the season, and the Eastern Giants are plotting for a third win on the bounce against the Tax collectors. This will be the 21st league match between the two sides and the previous ones have been a sort of crackers and close contests. The Eastern Giants are in fine form though, winning three times from their four league outings this season, and before their promising duel with URA FC on Saturday, we take a review of the last four league encounters between the two teams.

Shafik Kagimu swung the game to URA’s side early enough with a simple finish eleven minutes off the clock, but Deogracious Ojok scored a fabulous free-kick one minute from the end of the game to deny them maximum points at Namboole.
URA worked out numerous scoring chances and could have improved their score via Brian Majwega, Cromwell Rwothomio and Hassan Kalega but Eric Kibowa managed well every effort that came his way in the posts.
Before Ojok’s goal, BUL FC nearly equalised when Richard Wandyaka sent a rocket from range, however, James Alitho was equal to its strength.
Finally, the vital goal arrived on the 89th minute.Ojok struck a free-kick from the edge of the box to restore parity for the Eastern Giants.
