It was another action packed weekend for a couple of Ugandan footballers in the diaspora.
Most of the players earned the valuable playing time with some on target as the post COVID-19 era continues for football (behind closed doors) in many countries.
Ugandan footballers based in Estonia, Czech Republic, Sweden, Denmark, Egypt and South Africa all featured in the different matches.
