On Tuesday, he scored his 18th and 19th goals of the 2018/19 campaign as Police FC defeated Onduparaka 2-1 at Lugogo.

Having endured a 5 game winless run against the Caterpillars, Police who drew 2-2 away to Maroons prior to Wednesday started the game strongly as they attacked relentlessly.

However, they had to wait until the 37 minute for the breakthrough as Balinya scored his first goal from a direct free kick.

Five minutes later, the former Vipers midfielder was at it again, curling another free kick into the back of the net to ensure his side held a 2 goal caution at the break.

At the start of the second half, left-back Arafat Galiwango was booked for a reckless foul as Onduparaka pressed for a first goal.

It would eventually come four minutes to the hour mark through pacey forward Viane Ssekajugo.

Despite conceding with over a quarter of the game to play, the Cops held on to win the game 2-1.

This was their 10 victory of the season and second in a row at home following the 4-2 win against Paidha last time out.

The three points earned see Police move into 8th on the standings with 36 points from 26 games.

In the game played at the Arena of Visions, Ndejje University gave themselves hope in their survival bid as they overcame Nyamityobora 3-1.

In the second half, Isaac Kisujju struck twice inside 14 minutes with the first coming on 63 minutes and the second on 77 to hand the Students a vital victory in the season.

Before Kisujju’s second, Nyamityobra had temporarily reduced the deficit to one, through Joseph Akandwanaho on 71 minutes.
