Uganda Christian University(UCU) has had her first taste of the University Football League(UFL) beating St. Lawrence in the finals with 2:1.

UCU earned its championship on Sunday, November 10, 2019 at the StarTimes stadium, Lugogo.

The first score was by Ezra Kaye Kizito in the first have, mending the broken hearts of both the players and the fans.

After believing that it is possible, Musa Gita made well use of James Jerome Ssemambo’s pass in the 50th minute healing UCU’s broken heart with the second goal.

Derrick Emmanuel, UCU goalkeeper and captain did much in saving the balls that were aimed at him.
