Football Referee identified as ‘Pastor’ Godfrey Male is cursing like hell and nursing paining injuries after he was assaulted during a bloody Entebbe Super Cup Finals between Kiwafu Central and Katabi-Kitubulu that was held on Sunday at the Kiwafu football pitch. A mob of rowdy fans attacked the referee like angry bees and beat him up after he allegedly denied Kiwafu Central a penalty in the last dying minutes of the match. The rowdy fans pounced on the poor fella and rounded him up with slaps, kicks, canes plus punches after he allegedly denied Kiwafu Central a penalty in the final minutes of the match. He was saved by several good Samaritans who shielded and whisked him away from the rowdy mob while oozing a lot of sweat plus panting like dog.
The tournament sponsor and Entebbe Municipality Member of Parliament Hon. Rose Tumusiime condemned the ugly incident and indefinitely suspended the match until the organizing committee sorts out the matter.
Katabi-Busambanga (Division ‘A’) was crowned champions of the netball gala after they routed Kiwafu Central 28-10 in the finals. Katabi-Busambanga walked away with a trophy, a bull and a set of jerseys while Kiwafu Central walked away with a goat and a set of jerseys. All the participating teams were awarded with certificates.
