SUPL Maroons target ascendency against Onduparaka FC
Maroons FC will hope to ascend further on the table when they host Onduparaka FC on Tuesday afternoon at the Luzira Prisons stadium.

Busoga United travel to Arua Hill on Tuesday and then complete their assignments against title-contenders KCCA and Vipers at home and away, respectively.
UPDF need at least five points from SC Villa, Gaddafi and Onduparaka assuming Blacks Power win all their games.
