The MTN Uganda-sponsored Tooro Amasaza Cup returned in full force over the weekend with two exhilarating matches in Kabarole and Kyenjojo districts.

In the Saturday clash, Burahya County registered a comfortable 4-1 victory over Kitagwenda County at the packed Kyembogo Datic Playground in Kabarole district.

However, it was Kitagwenda that opened the scoring but Burahya quickly equalized with the game heading to halftime all square.

In the second half, Burahya's coach, Bernard Musonge, rallied his team to play stronger and they responded by netting three more goals, capitalizing on Kitagwenda's missed opportunities.

"We have a more organized team now and are looking forward to more wins," stated Burahya official Muhumuza Crosby, reflecting on their improvements since their opening match loss to Mwenge Central.

Kitagwenda's coach, Brian Walusimbi, voiced concerns about the playing field but remained hopeful for their upcoming crucial match against Mwenge South.

The action continued on Sunday as Mwenge North faced off against Kyaka County at the Kyarusozi Playground in Kyenjojo district.

Kyaka emerged victorious with a narrow 1-0 win. The solitary goal was scored in the first half, and Kyaka's solid defense maintained their lead until the final whistle.

Kyaka County Member of Parliament and team patron, Tom Bright, expressed his joy at the victory and thanked the organizing committee for their efforts.

"We are overwhelmed by this victory. I thank the players, fans, organizing committee, the Kingdom of Tooro for this opportunity and MTN for the partnership," he said.
