2019 University Football League:

Final:

Fast paced forward Ezra Kaye Kizito struck a brace to hand UCU deserved victory as he also took his tally to 15 goals.

UCU goalkeeper and captain Derrick Emmanuel Were was at his best with excellent command and saves especially facing attacks from Ibrahim “Owen” Kasule and Tito Ssematimba.

St Lawrence University consolation came through Misi Ssemugera.

Gallant defending by UCU earned them the deserved victory on the red letter sunny evening at Lugogo. UCU had to beat a 4-year quarter final jinx to loft the title, and condemned St Lawrence to their first loss of the 2019 season.

UCU won Shs4m as prize money with a trophy and gold medals while the losing finalists were rewarded with Shs3m and silver medals.

Meanwhile, the third place slot was earned by Bugema University who recovered from down to draw 3-3 with Uganda Martyrs University, Nkozi before winning 3-2 in penalties.

State minister for Sports Hon. Charles Bakabulindi was the chief guest.
