I need to create two columns of bullet points

I need 2 columns of bullet points in html.

I've tried a few ways I found across the web, and they don't work. I'd like it to be within the same "<ul>"

please advise, thank you.

 

It is not possible to do in the same UL

 

<ul>
 <table width="300">
  <tr>
   <td>
    <li>Software</li>
    <li>Hardware</li>
    <li>Games</li>
   </td>
   <td>
    <li>Football</li>
    <li>Basketball</li>
    <li>Handball</li>
   </td>
  </tr>
 </table>
</ul>

HTML:
