FOOTBALL Skipper Hudu Mulikyi out to end URA FC’s trophy drought in Super 8 final

However, the tax collectors have a chance to make amends when they play in their first cup final in as many years against BUL FC In the FUFA Super 8 on Sunday.

The 2013/14 season remains URA FC’s last memory of Silverware, the Stanbic Uganda Cup, and since then, it has been a story of near misses.

However, the tax collectors have a chance to make amends when they play in their first cup final in as many years against BUL FC In the FUFA Super 8 on Sunday.

Team captain Hudu Mulikyi echoes the same message, stressing that it is essential for the team to win the silverware as it will bring great joy to the team and URA the organisation.

“We have been preparing well for the final, that’s for sure, since I joined the club. I have never won any silverware, but I think we’re there now,” he noted in a pre-match interview.

“As captain, I will be happy to lift the trophy; winning will mean a lot to the club and URA as an organisation.”

URA FC reached the final of the FUFA Super 8 after edging KCCA FC 2-1 in the semifinals; new signing Ivan Ahimbisibwe nodded home the opener before Filbert Obenchan levelled the game.

And just when it looked like extra time was beckoning, Laban Tibita slotted home the winner in added time.

The four-time Uganda Premier League champions have splashed the cash, signing players including Ivan Ahimbisibwe, Laban Tibita, Enock Walusimbi, Denis Otim, Moses Aliro and Ibrahim Wammanah.

Interim coach Fred Muhumuza will lead the side on the technical bench, although after the final, the club is expected to announce its position on who the next head coach will be, replacing the late Sam Timbe.
