Lady Doves fought on until the final whistle to get a point against She Corporate FC in the game played today afternoon at the FUFA Technical Centre Njeru.
They had goalkeeper and captain Daisy Nakaziro to thank after a brilliant performance on the day, denying their opponents on numerous occasions.
She denied Favour Nambatya twice, Noeline Namiiro too came close but she stood tall while Janat Thungu had a goal at her mercy but Nakaziro recovered to snatch the ball away.
She Corporates were equally unlucky on the day with two of their efforts ricocheting off the woodwork. Susan Atim saw her effort slam onto the crossbar while Phiona Nabbumba’s well curled free kick also hit the upright.
On the other hand, She Corporates goalkeeper Vanessa Karungi was called out twice, first parrying away Fazila Ikwaput’s low drive before denying Elizabeth Nakigozi at the near post.
The result means Lady Doves go through on 8 points while UCU Lady Cardinals (6), Olila High School (4) and She Corporate (4) all have a point to secure the second playoff slot in group B.
Group B games will be concluded tomorrow Saturday with UCU Lady Cardinals FC taking on Olila High school WFC while Isra Soccer Academy will be up against She Corporate FC.
