UGANDA CUP Abonga, Ojara take Onduparaka to Round 16

Brian Aheebwa • 22:57 - 18.02.2023

Dominic Abonga and Denis Ojara were on target for Onduparaka FC during a 2-0 win over North Eastern Region side Junior Eagles FC in the Stanbic Uganda Cup Round of 32 at Soroti Stadium on Saturday.

They are the fifth StarTimes Uganda Premier League team to reach the Round of 16 after holders BUL FC, runners-up Vipers SC, Soltilo Bright Stars FC, and Wakiso Giants FC.

FUFA Big League side Mbarara City FC, Third Division outfit Bunyaruguru United FC, and Buganda Regional League's Kiyinda Boys FC and Kisugu United FC are the other teams through.

In the Round of 16, the caterpillars were eliminated from the Cup last season by SC Villa and will be hoping to go further this time.

The 2015/16 season remains Onduparaka's best season as far as this competition is concerned when they reached the final but lost 3-1 to Vipers.

The Round of 32 continues with a host of Sunday fixtures, including the joint record holders Express FC who will host FUFA Big League side Lugazi FC at Luzira.

Sunday fixtures

Express vs Lugazi

Pajule Lions vs Police

Calvary vs JLOS

Ndejje University vs Blue Star

Adjumani vs Elite
