BUL climbed to second with four points, three behind Vipers, who had whipped Friends of Soccer 6-0 in the earlier match.

BUL FC Junior Team roared to a 5-0 win over Mbarara Soccer Academy as they launched their FUFA Juniors League title defence on a high note.

Mbarara put up a good show on Monday to limit Vipers from winning the bonus point but could not match the edible oil manufacturers' heat on Tuesday.

The Western regional champions had flashed some glimpses of resilience, holding BUL’s attack for half an hour, but the Jinja side came out stronger.

Swabil Mpaasa thundered a low freekick from about 20 yards to open the scores in the 33rd minute.

Richard Okello combined well with Eric Kibirango ten minutes into the second half, with the latter laying him an inviting pass which he tapped into the net for BUL’s second.

Okello capitalized on a defensive mix-up a minute later to fire in the third and seal his double.

Mpaasa also had his quick-fire moment in the 86th minute to score twice inside 90 seconds to grab the first hattrick of the tournament.

BUL climb to second with four points, three behind Vipers, who had whipped Friends of Soccer 6-0 in the earlier match.

The defending champions face Posper Soccer Academy on Wednesday with a chance to take over the table if they win with a two-goal margin to get the bonus point.

Vipers will rest on Wednesday.
