FOOTBALL David Obua not entirely pleased despite URA's thrashing of Mbarara
And, while he was pleased with the result, URA head coach David Obua was far from satisfied with his side's general performance on the evening.
Kawawulo scored in the 38th minute off a rebound from Emmanuel Wasswa's freekick, that crawled past goalkeeper Denis Kiggundu.
The goal came after Rodriguez Shamamba had failed to connect a Yunus Sentamu pass for what should have been an easy tap-in.
With Vipers the likelier to get the next goal, the hosts killed off the game in the 77th minute after Wagoina turned defender Murushid Juuko to drive further forward and slot past Kiggundu.
The victory makes it two victories on the bounce for Isabirye and his side as they ascend to eighth on the log with 19 points in 13 matches.
