That&#8217;s because of our positive minds and experience,&#8221; URA coach Alex Isabirye, a devout Catholic, said while holding his rosary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Four-point game<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Four points from a possible nine against Maroons and Victors at home plus a final trip to KCC would land URA a fourth league title since the club&#8217;s formation in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our target is to finish strongly and prove we are worthy champions,&#8221; said URA&#8217;s right back Simeon Masaba. On current form, it&#8217;s difficult to see KCC (41 points) pick maximum points against Express, Police, Utoda and Maroons plus leaders URA.<\/p>\n<p>On the end of the table, Maroons, Utoda, Fire Masters and Masaka are desperately fighting to avoid the drop. Gulu United, who have six points from 20 games, are already relegated.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Taken from:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201105050162.html\" title=\"Uganda: Ura On Title Bend\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Uganda: Ura On Title Bend<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> James Ssekandi 5 May 2011 Two weeks ago, the last Ecobank Super League fixture between URA and KCC in June looked like a potential title decider. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-417723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
