Mbale Heroes is leading Bukedea Central 5-0 after the first leg of the FUFA Big League promotion playoffs.
Bukedea Central head coach Peter Ong’odia resigned after a section of the club hierarchy claimed that he manipulated their FUFA Big League playoffs first leg fixture against Mbale Heroes.
The team was thrashed 5-0 by the Mbale side at their Bukedea backyard, burying their hopes of qualifying for the second division.
The experienced Mbale Heroes side grabbed their goals through former topflight players James Otim, Mark Bamukyaye, Patrick Gonahasa, Marco Barssey and Shaka SSozi.
