UPL Kayiwa urges Express to build on win over Onduparaka
The Red Eagles had gone 11 games without a single win in the league before raining goals on the hapless Caterpillars to end the bad run.
His personal efforts may not have been reflected in the team’s results as they have won only one game in five, but he is the prime contender for the gong, attracting one million shillings.
Other contenders
Innocent Media has only played three games but scored two goals and an assist, as well as one man-of-the-match award for Arua Hills.
Tamale has kept three clean sheets in four games and capped it with one man-of-the-match award in Maroons' 1-0 win over Busoga United in Njeru.
