Uganda Christian University (UCU) delivered a spectacular performance at the East Africa University Games in Maseno, Kenya, solidifying its dominance across multiple disciplines and bringing home an impressive collection of gold medals.
In a tense final all-Uganda affair in Maseno University Kenya at the East Africa University Games, Uganda Christian University (UCU) Lady Cardinals clinched the silver medal after falling to Makerere University in a penalty shootout following a tense 0-0 draw in regulation time.
The UCU Lady Cardinals team secured an impressive 3-0 win over Maseno University, with Jovia Nakagolo netting two goals and Jane Nantongo adding a third. However, the UCU men’s football team faced heartbreak in the quarterfinals, drawing 0-0 against Kampala University (KU) in regulation time but losing 5-4 in a penalty shootout. The Lady Cardinals are set to battle it out with Makerere University.
Speaking to The Standard, UCU sports tutor Sam Lukaire revealed that they will shift attention to next season and see how to improve the team.
If given all the desired support, the University football league stands a chance of creating a culture that has the potential to be the best foundation for football identity and fan base development.
Since the one-all draw against Kampala Queens on Saturday, March 30, the Lady Cardinals have lost three straight games.
