Uganda Christian University has flagged off 250 athletes set to represent the institution at the 20th Association of Ugandan University Sports Games. The flag-off event was held at the Bishop Tucker Building, led by Vice Chancellor Prof. Aaron Mushengyezi and the Local Organising Committee.
The draws for the 20th Association of Uganda University Sports (AUUS) Games 2025 have been released, with five sports disciplines considered for both the men’s and women’s categories.
As Uganda Christian University (UCU) gears up for the highly blistering five-day Association of Ugandan University Sports (AUUS) games tournament, preparations continue in terms of sport facility renovations and redevelopment.
From commanding leadership in goal to creativity in midfield and composure in defence, these four players will be the heartbeat of a team determined to make their mark on home soil.
We just need to take the lessons we’ve learnt and look a bit better next time round. Right now, we need to look at the highest we can finish.”
UCU got off to a promising start, with captain Ibanda Lwabanga knocking down a three-pointer and Joel Kayiira adding six early points, leading the Mukono side to a 15–11 advantage at the end of the first quarter.
UCU started off with a strong lead, scoring 24 points against Nabisunsa’s 11 in the first quarter. Sylvia Nakituuka opened the score with a three-point shot. Despite missing a couple of layups and jump shots, Nakituuka’s 11 first-quarter points gave the Lady Canons an early upper hand.
The Canons wasted no time asserting control, powering to a 22–11 first-quarter lead. Their sharp offence and early defensive energy set the tone.
