Those results sent the team top of the table resonating well with the fans who turned up as the team collected shs.10 million as they beat Kataka 2-0 on Thursday.
Sam Ssimbwa’s leisurely introduction at Kitara saw their attendance start to dwindle but after the team settled and results started flowing their way, things seem to be getting back to normal.
Kitara managed three consecutive draws against lowly-ranked Northern Gateway, Jinja North United and Booma in Ssimbwa’s first three games in the Startimes FUFA Big League.
The results started getting some fans talking about his future at the club.
That was witnessed in their previous home game where the team collected about shs.7.2 million from their 1-0 win over Lugazi.
Well, that’s quite some sum under the local circumstances but not for Kitara who have averaged shs.10 million per game including shs. 21.7 million in their disappointing 1-1 draw in the derby against Booma the match before.
However, the coach started to strike the responsive chords leading to two wins over Lugazi (1-0) and NEC (1-0). Those results sent the team top of the table resonating well with the fans who turned up as the team collected shs.10 million as they beat Kataka 2-0 on Thursday.
“We wish to declare that we realized 10.03 million shillings from gate collections,” Kitara announced.
George Senkaaba and Derrick Nyanachwezi scored the goals.
Thursday’s results;
Kaaro Karungi FC 1-0 Booma FC
Adjumani TC FC 1-0 Jinja North United
Soroti City FC 2-0 Lugazi FC
Luweero United 2-0 NEC FC
Kitara FC 2-0 Kataka FC
