Another one: Villa's game with BUL postponed

Following the initial postponement of their game with Vipers SC, SC Villa's Uganda Premier League bout with leaders BUL FC has also been pushed ahead.

The two were set to battle it out at the FUFA Technical Center, Njeru this Wednesday, but, a postponement has been confirmed, with a new date yet to be disclosed.

The decision to have Villa's game against BUL off comes after the former's request as apparently, three of their players are with the Uganda U20 team.

Youngsters Jonah Patrick Kakande, Abbas Kyeyune and Cyrus Kibande are the players with the Hippos.

The trio is currently in Ethiopia for the Dire Cup, a preparatory tournament ahead of the All Africa Games set for Accra, Ghana.

Their first encounter earlier in the season ended in a 2-1 victory for BUL, thanks to strikes from George Kasonko and Jeromy Kirya. Umar Lutalo netted their consolation.

Last season in Njeru Villa smiled to a narrow 1-0 victory over BUL, courtesy of David Owori's sole strike.

It should be noted that while BUL are top of the log with 38 points, Villa are fifth after 18 and 17 games, respectively.
