In the final played on Tuesday afternoon, Otim sent a powerful free-kick from outside the box that beat goalkeeper Anthony Katangalo to give Amus the lead.

Bukedea Comprehensive nearly found an equaliser through Denis Ssewagudde, but his well-taken effort was brilliantly saved by goalkeeper Chagamu Usama.

Amus defended resolutely and carried their narrow 1-0 advantage into halftime, leaving Bukedea with more work to do in the second half.

After the break, goalkeeper Chagamu Usama produced several crucial saves, especially in the closing stages of the match, to preserve Amus College’s lead.
