Goals from Sibira Yunus, Nkolo Braise and Shaka Ssozi compounded JMC Hippos misery as BUL FC claimed bragging rights from Jinja derby beating their neighbours 3-1 in their Wednesday afternoon encounter at the Kakindu Stadium.
Titus Lubega early attempt went off target with only Nantamu on goal to beat. Umar Mukobe made a goal line clearance to deny Titus Lebega on the 25th minute with keeper well beaten.
Yunus Subira gave the hosts the lead on the 40th minute after thumping a header off Titus Lubega corner into the back of the net.
On the 42st minute, Yunus missed another goal scoring chance after being put through by Lubega when he shot wide with only goalkeeper to beat.
Bul doubled their lead five minutes later when Milton Karisa flicked the ball for Blaize Nkolo to sloat home for the second goal.
Hippos goalie failure to clear a seemingly harmless cross from Blaize Nkolo nearly gifted Bul the second goal but Yunus failed to beat the Hippos custodian.
The teams went for a breather with Bul having a two goal advantage. Two minutes after the restart, Hippos nearly scored an equalizer after a quick counter but pass Herbert Kakande to Moses Batali was picked by Paul Mujapwani who reacted faster than the Hippos striker.
Lubega again failed to beat on the 49th minute after receiving a long pass from Eric Apul which he blasted wide.
On the 51st Natale Moses scored Hippos but referee ruled it offside with the home team maintaining the driving seat.
On the 56th minute Hippos made a triple substitution bringing in Vianne Sekajjugo, Herbert Odipio and Patrick Onyango in a move that brought fresh blood in their attack.
In the last entertaining minutes Hippos managed to score a consolation with a goal coming from Rajab Abdulahaman before Bul added third goal through Shaka Ssozi.
Hippos failed to get their first win in the season to remain bottom of UPL stadings while Bul FC leapt to position fourteen on 10 points.
