FWSL Asubo continue pushing to survive with victory over Olila

Brian Aheebwa 12:42 - 13.03.2023

In the second round, only table leaders Kampala Queens have collected more points than Asubo, which is a step in the right direction in their relegation survival pursuit.

Unlike at the top end of the FUFA Women Super League, where Kampala Queens FC are runaway leaders, it is tight at the bottom of the 10-team log.

But still, Asubo Gafford Ladies are shining the brightest in the fight for survival.

Asubo edged Olila HS WFC 1-0 on the road on Sunday thanks to pacey forward Kamiyat Naigaga's goal in the 50th minute.

In the second round, only table leaders Kampala Queens have collected more points than Asubo, which is a step in the right direction in their relegation survival pursuit.

In four games played in the second round, Kampala Queens have gathered 10 points compared to Asubo's nine.

The latter lost one game within that period, a 3-1 defeat away to Kampala Queens.

A narrow 1-0 win over Olila was important to Asubo, given that it enabled them to change a position for the first time in a long while during this campaign.

For most of this season, the newly promoted team has been placed at rock bottom of the standings.

Naigaga's goal enabled them to leapfrog Makerere University WFC in the ninth position on 13 points with five games to go until the end of the season.

The relegation battle is set to intensify with several teams involved, including the defending champions She Corporate FC, who are just a point ahead of Asubo in the eighth position.
