Omedi battles Shaban, and Dhata for Players of the Month award

Kitara FC’s talisman Denis Omedi has been in red hot form hence his nomination for the Fortebet Real Stars’ Player of the Month award in February.

He has been nominated alongside KCCA FC’s prolific forward Muhammad Shaban, and NEC FC’s Joseph Dhata, who have equally been brilliant.

Omedi scored five goals in four Uganda Premier League appearances in February.

He bagged a hat trick as the Royals defeated UPDF FC 3-0 in Bombo before a goal apiece in the 1-0 victories over KCCA, and Wakiso Giants FC.

Omedi was also on the scoresheet as the Pride of Bunyoro beat Gaddafi FC 2-0 to advanced to the Round of 16 of the Stanbic Uganda Cup.

On the other hand, Shaban netted three goals in the same number of UPL games.

The former Onduparaka FC and Vipers SC striker was on target twice in the Kasasiro Boys’ 3-0 victory over NEC and once as they edged Express FC 4-3.

He also scored one of the two goals as KCCA FC eliminated Jinja North United 2-0 to reach the Round of 16 of Uganda Cup.

Just like Shaban, Dhata scored three UPL goals in four games in February, two coming in a 3-2 win over Busoga United and one against Mbarara City FC, a side the Diehards defeated 2-0.

Impressive, the former Express FC and Vipers SC defender bagged a hat trick in NEC’s thrilling 5-1 win over Acholi United FC in the Uganda Cup Round of 32.
