FUFA BIG LEAGUE Onduparaka cry foul over "poor” refereeing in defeat to Kataka

Allan Damba 12:41 - 25.03.2024

The Caterpillars felt they were robbed by the officiation decisions, going ahead to term it a "useless evening" at the Mbale Municipal Stadium on Sunday.

"Three clear penalties, four goals cancelled, a non existent red card," Onduparaka FC mourned on their social media platforms after their 2-1 defeat to Kataka FC in the FUFA Big League.

"Just a normal Uganda League Officiation Service," the club added in disappointment.
