Kyetume FC have been in good form building up the Uganda Premier League (UPL) break that took effect last week.
In their past six games, the Slaughters have lost just once, winning three and drawing the other two.
As a reward, two of their players have been shortlisted for the February UPL player of the month.
Custodian Joel Mutakubwa and striker Robert Ssentongo are the two in question.
Mutakubwa was good in goal during the past month, keeping a clean sheet away to Proline FC and conceding seven goals in the process.
For Ssentongo, he netted six goals in February including two braces.
He scored the winner away to Proline, netted in the 1-1 draw against URA FC before scoring twice in each of the two home victories verses Mbarara City FC and Onduparaka FC.
The two will face competition from Busoga United FC midfield maestro David Bagoole who scored twice last month.
The awards’ ceremony will take place at Kati Kati Restaurant in Lugogo on Monday 16.
The winner among the three players will walk away with UGX 1M and a plaque.
At the same ceremony, the manager of the month of February will also be crowned.
The nominees in the managers’ category include SC Villa’s Edward Kaziba and Abel Kikomeko Busoga United FC.
Kaziba oversaw three victories, a loss and draw in his five games in charge of Villa during February.
For Kikomeko’s Busoga United, they won four of their five games in that period, with the only exception coming in the 3-0 loss away to Bright Stars FC.
