Battle for the top spot

Throughout the regular season, Kampala City and St. Lawrence University were engaged in a fierce battle for the top spot. It took until the last day of the season for St. Lawrence University to edge out Kampala City with a 2-1 victory, securing themselves in the first position. Meanwhile, Mutoola, who were also in the mix initially, eventually settled for third place. However, the Sand Giants still have the opportunity to clinch a double after their recent triumph in the Muwanguzi Memorial Cup in May.

Buganda Royal, after a slow start to the season, displayed remarkable progress as the campaign unfolded. Their impressive 3-2 victory over MS Sand Lions in the final round of the last phase propelled them to the fourth position, setting the stage for an intriguing battle in the play-offs.
