Uganda Christian University (UCU) has retained the National Council for Higher Education Exhibition award for the fourth consecutive time. This comes after a three-day exhibition contest at the UMA show grounds, which attracted over 80 exhibitors.

Owen Masembe, the Guild President of UCU Kampala Campus, welcomed the idea of the gala, noting that oftentimes, students focus only on studies, forgetting about the physical aspects of their lives. 

Both teams failed to adequately test their respective goalkeepers, resulting in a goalless draw in the intense match.
