Wanainchi had earlier eliminated USIU A with a narrow 1-0 win in the semifinals, while Weatherhead booked their spot in the final with a 3-0 triumph over Kampala Hockey Club.

The women’s final saw USIU edge Tunza Sports U21 1-0 to claim the title, capping off an impressive campaign that included a 4-0 win over Weatherhead in the final group matches.

Tunza, who had been one of the standout teams throughout the tournament, were unable to find a way past a resilient USIU side.

The girls’ final between Gayaza and Namagunga was decided in a tense shootout after a goalless draw, with Gayaza clinching the title 9-8.

Group Stage and Knockout Round Highlights

The men’s competition saw strong performances from several teams across different pools. Weatherhead opened their campaign with dominant wins, including 6-0 and 8-0 victories over Kyadondo SS and Wabaloz respectively, before playing out a goalless draw with Wanainchi.

USIU fielded two sides—A and B—in the men’s category. USIU A advanced to the semifinals after topping Pool A with big wins, including an 8-0 rout of Wabaloz and a 4-0 win over Kyadondo SS, before falling to Wanainchi in the semis.

In the women’s draw, Kampala made an early statement with three straight wins on Day One, including a 3-0 victory over Wanainchi and a 2-1 win over Weatherhead. However, their run was halted by USIU, who grew stronger as the tournament progressed.

Individual Accolades

The tournament also recognized standout individual performers. In the men’s category, Baguma Emmanuel was named Most Valuable Player (MVP), while Brian Okodi took home the top scorer award.

In the women’s division, Grace Akumu was voted MVP, while Lucky Akello finished as top scorer.

In the junior categories, Felix Sendagire was both MVP and top scorer for the boys, while Angele Namaganda earned MVP honors among the girls. Kabaitira Risen claimed the girls’ top scorer accolade.
