Nandejje stepped up and converted from the spot to place JIPRA in the driving seat of the game.
From that point, Jinja Comprehensive stepped up its search for an equaliser thus pushing JIPRA on the back foot.
However, JIPRA’s backline stood firm and tall to ensure that they fight and throw everything on the line to keep the slim lead intact.
