West Nile Province player James Jarieko has had a great time this season with FUFA Big League side Ntungasaze, with the club sitting second top of their second-tier table and seeking a place in the Round of 16 of the 52nd Edition of Stanbic Uganda Cup.
Fresh from beating Nebbi Central FC 4-1 in the FUFA Big League at their new home, Kira Road Police Arena in Kampala, where Jarieko James and Omirambe both got onto the scoresheet, Ntungasaze now shift the 'masanyalaze' to Express FC this Wednesday. The Brewers were drawn to host Express in their Round of 32 of the Stanbic Uganda Cup, with both teams progressing from the Round of 64 via spot kicks in West Nile.
Ntungasaze FC beat West Nile Regional League side Kuluva Rainbow FC 3-2 on penalties after tying to a 1-all draw at regulation, meanwhile, Express FC survived the top of the West Nile Regional League table Pakwach Young Stars 7-6 on penalties after scoring a late equalizer just before the end of regular time.
The Kira Road Police Arena tenants will be looking at extending their outstanding performance this season that puts them only a point behind FUFA Big League table leaders Blacks Power FC, as Express put a chase to earn a silverware this season, having settled eleventh place in the StarTimesUgandaPremierLeague, 20 points behind table leaders Vipers SC.
