- Uganda Martyrs Face Kawempe Test with Top Spot at Stake | Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super LeagueThe central contest is likely to be between Uganda Martyrs’ scoring threat and Kawempe’s unbeaten defence. With an average of 2.5 goals per game, the leaders have demonstrated their ability to make chances count. Kawempe, by contrast, have yet to concede, suggesting that their defensive organisation has been effective.
