Not even the wet conditions following a heavy downpour a few minutes towards the end of the game could dampen the spirits at Sir Tito Winyi, the venue for the finals of the Cnooc Bunyoro Amasaza Cup 2016.
At the end of the 90 minutes, Buruuli (from Masindi) had beaten the defending champions Buyaga 2-0 last weekend. Stephen Ssonko and Sunday Echoni scored the goals.
This is Buruuli’s second trophy since the competition was launched in 2012, having won it in 2014. Buhaguzi, Hoima Municipality, and Buyaga have won the 2012, 2013 and 2015 editions respectively.
The month-long tournament sponsored by oil and gas company, Cnooc Uganda Limited, attracted teams from seven districts of Hoima, Kiryandongo, Kagadi, Kibaale, Hoima, Masindi and Kakumiro.
