Bright Stars controlled their game at Kavumba with a 2 to 0 win against Onduparaka, while Kataka produced a second half fightback to beat Paidha Black Angels in Mbale.

In Mbale, Kataka overturned a first half deficit to defeat Paidha Black Angels 2 to 1 in a tense contest.
Paidha struck first through Angua Manisuru just before the interval. Kataka equalised on the hour through Saul Bukoma, a goal that triggered protests from the Paidha technical area and resulted in the dismissal of head coach Mark Twinamatsiko.
Five minutes later Ali Ssentamu guided in the winner. Paidha ended the match with ten players after Yoacel Raymond received a second yellow card in the eighty eighth minute. The victory keeps Kataka unbeaten at home and moves them to thirteen points.
