While the Uganda Cranes 23-man squad embark on their journey to Aura for the West Nile tour, Uganda Revenue Authority FC will be entertaining relegation strugglers Maroons FC in the Azam Uganda Premier League (AUPL).
The Tax Collectors will be at home in Lugazi at Mehta stadium against the Prisons side when they welcome back their star strike Robert Ssentongo and number one goalie Brian ‘Ziggi’ Bwete who has been on rest for the last two games.
Just after one week, Ssentongo has reportedly been recalled from his two week ban that he has been facing since being involved in a physical battle with teammate Oscar Agaba. When URA FC travelled to Mwerwere stadium in Matugga where they played to a goalless draw with Bright Stars, the striking force was evidently informidable and that is why the striker has been recalled.
The Kefa Kisala-coached side will be without Allan Munaaba who was called to join the Uganda Cranes squad that is traveling to Aura today.
Meanwhile, Paddy Kintu still hopes to save Maroons season by guiding them out of the relegation zone. The Prisons side sit bottom of the league with just 9 points from 17 games. URA will be aiming to climb to the second or third spot on the table if they win today.
