NORTHERN REGIONAL LEAGUE WEEKEND PREVIEW: RACE FOR FIRST WINS, TOP-OF-TABLE CLASH HIGHLIGHT MATCHDAY 8 ACTION

Northern Regional League enters another crucial weekend as teams at both ends of the table battle for points, form, and early-season momentum. With several sides still searching for their first victory and a blockbuster tie at the summit, fans across the region are set for two days of high-stakes football on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th December 2025. All games kick off at 3:00 PM.

SATURDAY FIXTURES – DECEMBER 13, 2025

Kilak Young Super Power FC vs Gulu City Council FC

Venue: Kilak Primary School playground

League leaders Kilak Young Super Power FC face their toughest test yet as they host unbeaten Gulu City Council FC (GCC FC) in the weekend’s headline clash.

Kilak YSP have been in electric form, winning 5 of their 7 matches, scoring a league-high 13 goals while conceding only 3.

GCC FC, currently 3rd, have maintained their unbeaten status with 3 wins and 3 draws, scoring 10 and conceding 3. A win for the visitors would pull them within touching distance of top spot, while Kilak aim to tighten their grip on the summit.

Patongo United vs Elite FC

Venue: Gangkal Ground

11th-placed Patongo United continue their battle to escape the relegation zone. With only 1 win and 1 draw from 5 games, points are becoming urgent.

They welcome Elite FC, who sit 8th with 9 points from 6 games. Elite have been inconsistent (2 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses), but remain strong test for the struggling hosts.

Arua Hill SC vs Young Elephant FC

Venue: Pece Stadium, Gulu City

Two winless sides collide as Arua Hill SC (13th) take on Young Elephant FC (14th).

Arua Hill have collected only 2 points from 5 matches, both from draws, while Young Elephant have drawn twice and lost four in their 6-game run. Both clubs are desperate to break their winless streaks, making this a potentially tense relegation-zone showdown.

SUNDAY FIXTURES – DECEMBER 14, 2025

Akalo Express vs Red Devo FC

Venue: Akalo SS Ground, Kole District

In another top end encounter, 5th-placed Akalo Express welcome title contenders Red Devo FC (2nd).

Akalo have accumulated 11 points (3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss), while Red Devo boast 4 wins, a draw, and just one defeat from 6 games.

This matchup could shake up the top four depending on the result in Kilak.

Northern Gateway SC vs Saviors FC – Lira City Derby

Venue: Northern Gateway Grounds, Lira City

A relegation six-pointer sees both Northern Gateway SC (12th) and Saviors FC (15th) still hunting for their first victory.

Northern Gateway have 3 draws and 1 loss from 4 games, while Saviors finally ended a five-match losing run with a 1–1 draw last weekend but remain bottom with only 1 point.

With derby pride at stake, tension is guaranteed.

Lira City Council FC vs Tanzania FC

Venue: Lango College Playground

After a disappointing 2–1 loss to Homeland United, Lira City Council FC (7th) return home seeking redemption.

They face Tanzania FC, a well-organized side sitting 6th with 11 points from 7 games (3 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses).

Lira City Council have collected 10 points from 7 matches but have struggled for consistency.

Pajule Lions vs Homeland United

Venue: Pajule Primary School playground, Pader District

Pajule Lions (9th) take on high-flying Homeland United (4th) in one of Sunday’s most intriguing clashes.

Pajule have taken 7 points from 5 games (2W, 1D, 2L), but their goal tally—just 4 scored and 5 conceded —highlights their need for more attacking output.

Homeland United, fresh off a win over Lira City Council, come in with 11 points from 6 games and strong momentum.

WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND

• A potential reshuffle at the top, with Kilak YSP, Red Devo, and GCC all in action.

• Three teams chasing their first win: Arua Hill SC, Young Elephant FC, Northern Gateway SC, and Saviors FC.

• Local derbies and relegation battles adding crucial early-season tension.

• Attacking football from league leaders Kilak YSP, who boast the strongest offense so far.

As the season heads deeper into its decisive stages, every point now matters—whether in the title race, the push for mid-table stability, or the fight for survival.

All matches kick off at 3:00 PM across the region.
