The BIKA Football Tournament reached the group stages round with the round of 32 producing some suprise results which saw the defending champion Ndiga eliminated in their first game of the competition.
Ndiga fall to Ngabi Nsamba in a five goal thriller as they lost 3-2 at Muteesa II Stadium Wankulukuku to be denied a chance to defend the Ngabi they won last year.
Sula Matovu Maluda scored a hat trick for Ngabi Nsamba as they booked their slot into the group stages. Mzei Dan Sserunkuma and Reagan Mpande scored the two goals for Ndiga.
The 2022 losing finalists and favourites Ffumbe managed to pick up a slim 1-0 victory against Nkima at Buddo Secondary School playgrounds as they sailed to the group stages.
KCCA FC midfielder Ssenoga Muhammad Kagawa scored the only goal for the Ffumbe clan as they claimed victory.
At Wakisha playgrounds, Kobe eased past stubborn Njovu as they claimed a 4-1 win to progress to the group stages.
Daraus Kiwanuka, Andrew Kayiwa, Ibrahim Kasinde and the Uganda Premier League golden boot holder Allan Kayiwa scored for Kobe with Serif Batte scoring the consolation for Njovu.
