Meanwhile, the Ugandan side played a barren draw with Kenya Premier League 10-time champions, Tusker FC in a friendly game last week.
In a game that the Uganda Premier champions were using to test their strength in the run-up  to the preliminary stages of the CAF Champions League, Vipers paid dearly for their shyness infront of goal, while their Kenyan opponents were equally guilty of profligacy having failed to convert three

clear cut chances hat would have seen them turn out comfortable victors against their hosts.
The Vipers coach, Edward Golola was pleased by his boys’ display, although he rued their lack of sharpness in front of goal.
He was however optimistic that with a full strength squad, he will have a good run against the seven times Nigeria Premier League champions.
