Kisu went home with a trophy, medals and Shs3m cash prize. The first and second runners up walked away with medals while each team got a certificate of participation.
KISU skipper Tumwine lauded his teammates for the victory before applauding FUFA for the organisation.
“We came here to just compete and we didn’t think of winning the championship. I thank my teammates for the commitment and hard work,” he said.
