Micheal Jonah Lubowa.
Kenneth Bagenda replied for Embwa with a well taken brace
during the game officiated by omulongo Alex Wasswa Alex.
Engo took the lead before Embwa made it 1-all. Engo restored
their lead and Embwa gallantly fought on to make amends 2-2 at the half time

the match and earn maximum points on the day.
