With the season barely three weeks old the first controversy has cropped up after Kinyara FC petitioned Fufa Competition Committee (FCC) over Bunamwaya win.
Bunamwaya won the match 2-1 when the two teams met in a Uganda Super League match last Friday in Masindi.The team from western region claims that Bunamwaya used a player who was serving a ban after he was sent off towards the end of last season.
“We handed in our petition on Monday along with $50 petition fees,” David Benkya, club secretary told KickOff EastAfrica.com.
The letter states that Bunamwaya player Hakim Ssenkumba was sent off while playing for us (Kinyara) during the second last match of last season against Maroons. He missed our last match of the season against Express.
The player featured for his new club against Nalubaale in the opening match of the season, putting on jersey number 9 and a week later played against us putting on jersey number 27.
Moses Magogo, secretary of the FCC confirmed receipt of the letter.
“I have received the letter and will contact other members of the committee so that we meet on Saturday for action,” he said.
“If Bunamwaya were at fault, the rules are clear. They will forfeit the match,” he added.
However, Haruna Kyobe, secretary of Bunamwaya says that they have no case as the player served the ban last season.
The club, whose patron is the Fufa president Lawrence Mulindwa, has won both their opening two matches and recruited heavily in the off season.
