Kitara suffered their third straight Uganda Premier League home defeat at the Royals Park Stadium in Butema on Friday evening.

The Brian Ssenyondo coached side woes continued with a 1-3 defeat to BUL making it four losses out of six games played this far.
Martin Aprem struck as early as the 2nd minute to put BUL ahead before Walter Ochora doubled their lead seven minutes later.
The Royals halved the in the 28th minutes through defender Arthur Kiggundu who also netted his first goal for the club.
Prior to the break, Ssenyondo made changes withdrawing Jasper Aheebwa and Erick Muber replacing them with Lazaro Bwambale and Moses Sseruyidde respectively.
Forwards Fred Amaku, George Senkaaba and Sabir Yassintah were later introduced in a bid add fire power but BUL’s resilience could not be broken.
Instead the visitors piled more misery on their hosts scoring the third goal from a counter attack which Dickson Matama buried after beating Kitara’s defender Dudu Ramadan and goal keeper Chrispas Kusiima.
The defeat is the heaviest Kitara has faced since 2022, they had not lost to any team by a 3 goal margin.This result leaves them in the relegation zone.
Two tricky away fixtures are lined up for the Hoima based side who first play URA FC next Friday at the Hamz Stadium – Nakivubo before visiting Bright Stars at Kavumba.
