With just five minutes to normal time, Sentamu restored parity with a sensational left footed strike to register his 14th of the campaign.
The Venoms had spent 180 minutes with scoring a league goal at home.
The hosts struggled in the first period as they failed to break down a well organised URA FC defence led by the gigantic Benjamin Nyakoojo.
The Venoms improved in the second period and nearly leveled early on when Sentamu’s header was well saved by URA FC custodian Hannington Sebwalunyo.
The draw sees URA FC stay at the summit with 51 points while Vipers are second with 50 points.
