Lady Doves FC president Julius Mugisa flagged off a contingent of 20 Players and officials to Njeru ahead of FWSL Kick-off and they were the first team to report at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru.
While speaking to the players Mr Mugisa said, “Coaches and management have done their part and the faith we have in you is unquestionable”.
The second batch of group two will Kick off their league on Monday at 09:00am.
The Believers will be against She Cooperates, Olira High School, Isra Soccer Academy and UCU Lady Cardinals.
It should be remembered that Lady Doves are among the top competitors in this year’s season having performed well in recent friendly games and winning the WATOTO Tournament.
Here are some of the reasons why the Masindi based team are the favorites;
• The team has brought in a midfield machine from Tanzania, Aziz Zuena Tembeni who has been very impressive in recent games.
• They have the hottest forwards so far with experienced Fazila Ikwaput, Nakogozi Elizabeth, Sarah Nakuya.
• The players have been together for so long and they believe it’s high time they won the league.
