Chaos Overshadows Women Beach Soccer Tourney.
What had started as a peaceful beach soccer women’s league kickoff on Sunday ended in chaos between Muteesa I Royal ladies and she –corporates. The dispute arose after referee Bruno Kiyemba disallowed one of Muteesa I Royal ladies’ goals and yet the other line referee George Bakiwanye accepted it. Muteesa ladies pounced on Referee Bruno and threw him in the water after he disallowed their goal and didn’t give them any convincing reason. Beach soccer management will decide on the matter.
In other games She-Corporates beat Entebbe Ladies 6-1, Talented lost to She-corporates 1-4 while Muteesa I Ladies beat Entebbe Ladies 4-1. All the matches were played on a round robin system.
