Uganda Journal Vol 11 No 2 Sept 1947 - Uganda Notes  1903 - A Football Match - During a recent holiday in Busoga I took part in a football match between Iganga and Jinja. This is, I suppose, the first real match amongst the natives. The Iganga men walked over to Jinja with Mr Skeens and Mr Owrid who played on their side, while Mr Buckley, Sergeant Moss and myself played for Jinja. But there was no resisting the Iganga team; they beat us handsomely by 9 goals to 1.
