Crested Cranes stars Najjemba, Nalukenge light up Europe over the weekend

Uganda senior women's team stars Fauzia Najjemba and Juliet Nalukenge put up remarkable shows for their respective teams throughout an action-packed weekend.

Crested Cranes skipper Najjemba scored once for Dynamo Moscow against her former team, BIIK Kazygut, in a friendly on Saturday.

Her team is currently in preseason, having finished third in the regular season and fifth in the six-team championship group.

Meanwhile, Nalukenge bagged a brace as her Cypriot outfit Apollon Limassol Women's team, thumped Lakatamia FC 5-0.

With the result, Apollon put one leg into the semi-finals of the Cypriot Women's Cup.

Just weeks back, Nalukenge bagged a hat-trick to fully mark a revamp of her career, having endured a nagging injury last year.

Both Najjemba and Nalukenge are set to play starring roles for the Crested Cranes this year under head coach Sheryl Botes.
