3rd place: Kibuli 3-0 Buddo SS
Final: St Mary’s Kitende 2-0 Gombe SS
St Mary’s Kitende beat St Andrews Kaggwa Gombe SS to clinch this year’s National Post Primary Championship at Barifa Stadium in Arua.
Goals from Elvis Ngonde and Charles Lwanga helped the Wakiso-based school defend the title they won in 2019 in Jinja.
It’s the 10th title for Kitende, who had won it previously in 2019, 2015, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2004.
They move just one title shy of record winners Kibuli who won a couple earlier before the tournament was called UTV Cup in the 90s.
It’s double joy for Kitende whose associate club, Vipers SC, have also won the Uganda Premier League with four games to spare after the 3-0 victory over Express.
Ngonde was at the end of Fazil Tumwine’s cross which he buried with s sweeping finish to give Kitende a 11th minute lead.
Kitende quickly doubled their lead three minutes later with Enock Luyima’s effort finding Lwanga who looped over the goalkeeper.
And Kitende, who earlier knocked out Kibuli after that controversial penalty at Semis, held on as Gombe huffed and puffed in vain.
St Andrews Kaggwa Gombe, making their debut at the tournament, will walk with heads high after some good performances highlighted by eliminating traditional sides Jinja SS and Buddo SS.
