Defending champions Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC and Kampala Queens extended their lead in Victoria and Elizabeth group respectively with comfortable victories over the weekend in the FUFA Women Elite League 2018/19 season.

Four time Champions Kawempe Muslim ran riot against Rines Women FC registering a 6-0 win to move to 25 points six above second placed Lady Doves. This therefore means that Kawempe need just three points in their remaining five games to confirm their berth in the playoffs.
Juliet Nalukenge scored a brace to take her goals tally to nine and she is now the joint top scorer with Hasifa Nassuuna of UCU Lady Cardinals.
The other goals for Kawempe Muslim were scored by Asia Nakibuuka (brace), Sharon Naddunga and Tracy Jones Akiror.
