BUL FC have pushed further their winless streak to 11 games, after a barren stalemate with West Nile giants, Arua Hill SC at the FUFA Technical Center, Njeru on Wednesday.

The Jinja based side came into the tie looking for a first win of the second round, but it wasn't to happen, despite a relatively strong display on the evening.

In their abysmal run, they have drawn seven times while four encounters have ended in stalemates.

The hosts started brightly and their continued pressure nearly paid off in the 22nd minute, but Ibrahim Nsimbe's close range shot was expertly saved by goalkeeper Rogers Omedwa.

The guests then responded with an attack of their own, but Innocent Media failed to fully capitalize on Geriga Atendele's cross, as he dragged his header wide, with halftime looming.

BUL returned hungry like they should be, but still failed to beat Omedwa, with Nsimbe and Martin Aprem being denied by the custodian, just after restart.

The guests then had a half chance to break the deadlock, but Atendele's long range freekick in the 73rd minute was well tamed by custodian and captain Saidi Keni, as both sides played out to a draw.

Arua Hill, who have stayed fourth with 38 points after 25 matches, will return to action against Busoga United on May 16th.

Meanwhile on the same day, eighth-placed BUL, who are on 34 points, will play host to KCCA FC.
