In a tightly contested FUFA Big League West Nile derby on Sunday, Paidha Black Angels FC (PBA) and Calvary FC played to a goalless draw at Bar Okoro Stadium.

The intense match showcased spirited performances from both sides, but neither could find the back of the net.

PBA’s Efforts Fall Short at Home

Paidha Black Angels FC, a Zombo-based club with a passionate fan base, put up a determined fight in front of their supporters. Despite creating multiple chances, the team struggled to convert opportunities into goals.

Speaking after the match, Tasha Giramia, PBA’s Public Relations Officer, acknowledged the team’s dominance but lamented missed opportunities.

“We were more dominant, but their defensive side was very strong,” she said. “Our strikers found it difficult to break through their defence.”

Giramia also praised the fans for their unwavering support, emphasising the club’s resilience despite recent management challenges.

PBA, currently under the leadership of fans and local business stakeholders, is hopeful about installing a new management team to steer the club towards future success.

Calvary FC Celebrates Resilience

For Yumbe-based Calvary FC, the draw was seen as a hard-earned result. The team’s defensive discipline frustrated PBA’s attacking efforts and kept the home side from securing three points.

Simon Otim, head coach of Calvary FC, commended his players for their effort throughout the match.

“We had come to pick maximum points, but this will help us focus on the second leg,” Otim stated.

Calvary FC, who finished the first round among the top four teams alongside Bumba Saints and others, remains focused on maintaining their strong position as the league enters its second round.

Looking Ahead

As Paidha Black Angels FC reflects on their performance, they face the challenge of rebuilding under fan-led management.

The club’s supporters and local businesses have rallied to keep operations running after the departure of their chairman.

For Calvary FC, the draw is a confidence boost as they prepare for the second leg of the FUFA Big League.

With aspirations to stay among the league’s top contenders, their solid defensive performance in the derby is a promising sign.

The West Nile derby proved to be a testament to the competitive spirit and growing intensity of FUFA Big League football in the region. Fans from both sides left the stadium with high expectations for the remainder of the season.
