UCU beats St. Lawrence to win this year’s University Football League

Mukono based Uganda Christian University beat St.Lawrence University to win this year’s University Football League title.

In a game played at the StarTimes stadium at Lugogo on Sunday afternoon, the Church of Uganda institution of higher learning who were playing their first final scored a goal in either half to clinch the title.

The Mukono based side took the lead only 10 minutes into the game , thanks to Ezra Kizito Kaye as they held onto the lead until the final whistle of the first stanza.

In the second stanza, Kaye was at it again with a second goal for UCU as they took the lead beyond reach.

The Lubaga based team however put up a good performance that later paid off with a Missi Ssemugera consolation but it was not enough to change much as UCU went on to win the game 2-1.
