The 4th Season of St Kaggwa League concluded on a high note on Saturday night at Timeout Leisure Park in Mbalwa with Chwezi FC (Class of 2007-2012) crowned champions.
Chwezi dominated the season, accumulating 60 points from 24 matches and finishing 17 points ahead of runners-up Majojo FC.
Chwezi’s crowning marked the culmination of months of intense competition during which they demonstrated remarkable teamwork, skill, and strategic acumen and culminated in a well-deserved celebration for players who came together with a shared goal and a deep connection to their alma mater.
The strong defensive duo of Louis Kamugisha and Darius Sabawa were instrumental in keeping the team unbeaten throughout the season while dynamic winger Oni Bashir and the league’s most creative player Jotham Danko alongside top scorer Arafat Ngembya made significant contributions to Chwezi’s success.
Seasoned players like Brighton Amumpaire, Samuel Muhimba, and Odomaro Natwijuka teamed up well with the likes of Seif Abiola and Moses Asiimwe to make an impact in every match and the on-field chemistry was evident.
“I want to recognize the Chwezi players for their outstanding discipline and hard work, both on and off the field. This season has been incredibly challenging and competitive, but the boys’ commitment every single day has led us to victory,” Chwezi FC’s head coach Javira Atusimiire who is also the chief executive of Virat Engineering Ltd, one of the league partners, stated.
Majojo FC claims Fr. Mukama Memorial Tournament
Meanwhile, during the grand finale, the Fr. Evarist Mukama Inaugural Memorial Tournament was held in honour of the school’s former chaplain.
Fr. Mukama passed away in 2018. His commitment to sports, faith, and discipline greatly influenced the St. Kaggwa High School community and this tournament was designed to celebrate his legacy.
In an exciting final match, Majojo FC, the league’s runners-up, narrowly defeated the newly introduced Ekyokya FC to win the tournament.
Awards
Desire Arimpa from Divas CF won the Best Fan of the Season award while Chwezi players Nicholas Nuwasiima and Jotham Danko received the Best Goalkeeper and Most Assists awards respectively.
Atusimiire was honoured with the Best Coach award while Ekyokya took home the Fairplay award.
What they said
The Director of Information and Computer Technology (ICT) for the Uganda Police Force AIGP Felix Baryamwisaki, a former student of St. Kaggwa (1993-1996), who was the chief guest congratulated the winning teams.
“I have seen very young and talented boys and I believe it is a way of promoting physical fitness. You have seen diseases like diabetes, blood pressure killing people. So, apart from socializing, there’s that gain of physical fitness. I encourage you to keep up. Next Season, I will be attending regularly as a morale booster,” Baryamwisaki said.
He also praised Divas CF, the girls’ team representing Kyeizooba Girls Secondary School, for reinforcing the longstanding relationship with St Kaggwa that has existed for many decades.
Kaggwa League president Anoch Kambendyaho who is also the proprietor of Adritex Uganda, another partner of the league, had a vote of thanks to everyone involved in the league.
“I want to express my gratitude to all the teams, our sponsors, and everyone who supported us throughout Season 4. Your dedication has made this season perhaps the best we’ve ever experienced. Together with our stakeholders, we are committed to enhancing the league. We are fortunate to have one of the finest alumni leagues in the country, and we will continue to grow,” he stated.
Queen of the West, Omega 256, crowned the night with a fun-filled performance of songs such as Omuzeire, Ndeka and This Year.
The Kaggwa League serves as the sports union for all alumni of St. Kaggwa Bushenyi High School.
