At St Mary’s Kitende, skipper Geoffrey Wasswa scored the only goal that released pressure off ‘Mama Maria’ believing tactician Fred Kajoba.
That 57th minute freekick sunk the struggling Caterpillars.
Vipers SC got their first sniff at Oduparaka goal in the 14th minute but Musissi’s header parried off the cross bar.
At this point, the game picked great pace and Vipers looked to have more intent going forward. Paul Mucureezi found the best chance of the game but his volley shoot went off the target by inches and missed to break the dreadlock.
Both teams were held to a goalless draw by the end of the first stanza
Despite Onduparaka FC struggling in the first half they stepped up the gear in the second stanza but were still far from the usual best.
