Goals Kaija Sunny and Kayondo Joseph mean they joined St Lawrence University in the semi finals of the 2022 Uganda University Football League.

Kayondo Joseph scored a stunning free kick in the 89" as Uganda Martyrs University edged Bugema University 2-1 in the second leg of their Pepsi University Football League quarter-final tie today Tuesday in Nkozi.

The win sees Uganda Martyrs win the tie 3-2 on aggregate and progress to the semi-finals for their second consecutive season and third time in the last four seasons.
