This weekend’s outing will shine the spotlight on cricket, a sport with deep roots at Busoga College Mwiri, long regarded as one of Uganda’s respected cricket hubs.

Alumni are expected to return to the crease to revive old rivalries and showcase their batting and bowling skills in what organisers are billing as an action-packed day on and off the field.

Defending cricket champions Buliti Cohort, who won last season’s competition, will be among the hosts of the day alongside Ruga Ruga, Lukambwe and Vuyos United.

Fans can also look forward to several cricket clashes featuring teams including Kombora, Suici, Vuyos, Makaya, Kanga, Shadow, Destroyers, Lukambwe, Winter and Divers as they battle for supremacy.

Away from the sporting action, the event will carry an “Afropiano Vibes” theme with a star-studded entertainment package designed to keep revellers on their feet.

Ugandan music star Spice Diana will headline the performances with a catalogue of hits including Siri Regular, Onsanula and Kwata Wano.

Ahead of the event, Spice Diana said fans should expect an electrifying performance, adding that she is ready to bring her very best to the experience.

She will be joined by Matereo Music, while Sakata Band will usher in the main show with a live-band performance.

Hosting duties will be handled by Olga Dax alongside veteran hype man and Busoga College Mwiri old boy MC Kats, who is expected to bring his trademark energy.

On the decks, DJ Pius will lead a lineup of DJs set to keep the party going throughout the day.

Guinness Brand Manager Denise Nazzinda said the brand remains committed to elevating the Mwiri League experience by blending sport, culture and premium lifestyle experiences.

“The return of the Mwiri League has once again created a unique platform for connection, celebration and unforgettable experiences. At Guinness, we are proud to be part of this journey, bringing together sport, entertainment and lifestyle in a way that resonates with our consumers. I believe Matchday 4 will be bigger and better as we continue to elevate the festivities and create memorable moments for everyone attending,” Nazzinda said.

Organisers added that football will also feature among the day’s activities, although it will play a secondary role to the main cricket action and entertainment lineup.

The day combined regular season fixtures with a full Guinness Matchday On Tour setup, giving alumni live Premier League action on a giant screen along with several sponsor-led services, including a health camp and national ID registration.

The return drew hundreds of Busoga College Mwiri Old Boys, with different cohorts reuniting after the off season.

Old Boys President Daniel Mushabe praised the strong sense of togetherness, noting that the league continues to strengthen bonds within the community and create avenues for support beyond football.

Guinness, a long time supporter of alumni leagues, played a central role in the opening day experience. Brand Manager Denise Nazzinda said the event delivered the reconnection and energy the partnership aims to promote, with fans enjoying Premier League action on site rather than heading to other hangouts.

On the pitch, defending champions Suici FC started well with a 2 to 0 win over Destroyers. Top Layer matched that result against Blue Dollar before later drawing with Divers.

Makaya won both of their matches, beating Vuyos 2 to 0 and Shadow 4 to 0. Winter defeated Mpala 2 to 0 and Wampa edged Buliti 1 to 0 as the schedule offered a full mix of competitive games.

Entertainment ran throughout the day, capped by a night performance from Karole Kasita and steady hosting from MC Kats.

League Chairman Shadrack Olinga welcomed the strong opening, saying the event delivered on football, turnout, and partner engagement.

Matchday two is set for December 13 and will include a family themed outing aimed at bringing alumni and their families together for another packed day of football and community activity.

The alumni competition for Busoga College Mwiri will now take place at the International University of East Africa in Kansanga after the league was officially launched at the same venue on Tuesday.

League Chairman Shadrack Olinga said the organisers are ready for another strong campaign and highlighted the support from sponsors in shaping the competition’s growth. He urged the Mwiri Old Boys community to turn out in full strength as the new season gets underway.

This year’s edition features 22 teams and adopts a Swiss style format. All teams will play a rotating cast of opponents across the season with minimal repeats and a single league table. The top sides will advance to the knockout playoffs that will decide the champions.

Guinness, the lead sponsor and a long time supporter of Old Boys leagues, reaffirmed its backing. Project Manager Mercy Atwongyeire said the brand aims to enhance the matchday atmosphere and deepen alumni engagement.

Matchday One will open with competitive fixtures and a strong entertainment lineup led by MC Kats. Fans will also have access to board games and a range of partner services.

NIRA will offer national ID renewal while Marie Stopes will run a free medical camp. The league’s other partners include NRG Radio, MTN, SafeBoda, Kenbright, Jonakee Holdings, and Across the Nile Resort and Adventures.

Suici FC head into the new campaign as defending champions after lifting the main shield in May.
