SKW beat Ramblers 2-0 on Saturday to move to within a point of second placed African Stars.

Playing at the Ramblers field, SKW controlled the game for most part and were worthy winners against a weak Ramblers side that seldom looked like scoring.

Ramblers had a few chances early on with a Simon Shikokolo shot being cleared off the line, while an Emilio Martin freekick was well saved by SKW keeper Charles Uirab.

But SKW soon took control and with Joslin Kamutuka and Theuny Thomas putting in some good runs, the chances came their way.
