The Lady Cardinals continued to press for a winner and were rewarded with 12 minutes remaining when youngster Ritah Kadondi found the back of the net to complete the turnaround and secure all three points.
The two sporting events will happen on Saturdays, 13th and 27th June 2026, respectively, at the UCU sports ground, shifting them from Nelson Mandela (Namboole) Stadium, which is currently undergoing renovations in preparation for the 2027 PAMOJA African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Their victory over USIU-Africa in the final extended UCU’s dominance in the competition, having also defeated the Kenyan side in the 2024 and 2025 championship games.
With Prossy Basemera scoring for the second time in a row, Cathy Nassimbwa netting her fourth goal in the last three games for the Lady Cardinals, and Ritah Adyero sealing the victory, the efforts of the star players overshadowed the only goal for BUL FC Women. The visitors’ goal came from an own goal by Lady Cardinals goalkeeper Annita Akayo after a shot by Shifa Namubiru struck her back and went into the net.
SJMC and Social Sciences edged the School of Business 25-23 to win the UCU Inter-Faculty Netball title, while FEDAT dominated the School of Law 76-46 in the basketball final, sealing a memorable double finale to the university’s Inter-Faculty Games.
Combined School of Social Sciences and SJMC team defeated FEDT 2-0 to win the UCU Inter-Faculty Games 2026 title. Goals from Diego Mugambwa and tournament top scorer Simon Arike capped a disciplined performance built on tactical execution and resilient defending.
One of the developers, Bak Kau Nak, explained that the scoreboard is designed to support multiple sports, including basketball, football, volleyball, netball, and any other sport that requires timekeeping and scoring.
Coached by UCU Canons shooting guard Zachariah Ekirappa, the SJMC and Social Sciences side put up a determined performance to seal the podium finish in a highly contested encounter.
The win was pivotal on the well-coordinated backline of UCU Lady Cardinals, commanded by Prossy Basemera and Harriet Muwugumya, as well as the team’s ball carrier upfront, Cathy Nassimbwa, who was in her prime form so far this season, making the defence of Jinja United Women FC look shaky.
