Unsteady UPL start makes open title race

With none of the four title contenders – Vipers, Bul, KCCA and SC Villa – hitting the ground running, outsiders Nec have thrown their hats in the ring as  genuine challengers.

Nec’s two composed opening victories have sent tremors through the StarTimes Uganda Premier League, turning heads and piling pressure on the traditional title challengers. 

Their gradual rise has forced the usual favorites to reckon with a new threat, as their underwhelming performances have only magnified the growing momentum of Nec that hit Kitara 2-1 in Hoima on Thursday.
