Thunderbirds (women) and Walukuba Barbarians (men) are the first Cup Finals winners of the 2025 Kabaka Coronation 7s tournament.
It was an alternating Kyadondo versus Abel Dhaira Memorial affair in the finals with each facility clinching one victory.
Thunderbirds beat Walukuba Titans, 15-00, in a dominant display of power and experience to defend home turf. Walukuba Barbarians squeezed Heathens, 17-05, to show that their earlier pool meeting was no fluke victory.
Both Thunderbirds and Walukuba Barbarians received a UGX 5 million cash prize from the event’s ticketing partner MTN MoMo.
Walukuba Titans and Heathens settled for the silver medal which came with a UGX 3 million cash prize.
The bronze medals, with a UGX 1 million cash prize, were won by Avengers (women) and Buffaloes (men).
Rams collected the Challenge Cup and continued their streak as ninth ranked team.
This was the first stop of the 2025 Nile Special Uganda Rugby Sevens Series. The next stop will be from August 9-10 at the Pece War Memorial Stadium in Gulu City.
