This was a repeat of last year’s final where Vipers humiliated BUL FC with an 8:0 defeat played at the FUFA technical center in Njeru in a match that saw forward Musa Esenu replace Sanon Mulabi between the sticks as a makeshift goalkeeper.
Vipers were aiming to make history of winning two cups in the same campaign (Uganda cup and the Uganda premier league) but BUL brought down their hopes.
BUL’s triumph means they’ll represent Uganda at the continental showpiece, the CAF Confederations cup.
BUL walked away with 50 million prize money while Vipers SC received 25 million.
All awards were scooped by BUL players including;
Best goalkeeper – Emmanuel Karyoowa
Best Defender – Ochora Walter
Top Scorer – Karim Ndugwa
