DOUBLE DREAM: BLACK PIRATES TARGET UGANDA CUP AFTER 8-YEAR TROPHY DROUGHT
After an impressive unbeaten run, the Black Pirates face the Heathens in the Uganda Cup final, aiming for a double and strengthening the club's lasting legacy.
This Saturday, it will be eight years, one month, and two days since the Black Pirates last won the Uganda Cup. As one of Uganda’s top rugby teams, winning this game is crucial. They want to grab a double this season and keep their club's legacy going strong.
Since their Uganda Cup victory in the 2017-18 season, the Sea Robbers have only made it to one more final, losing to the Heathens (their rivals this year) in 2022.
Right now, the Pirates are on a roll, scoring big and winning close games against rivals like the KOBs. Captain Isaac Massa says this run is part of a bigger plan.
Massa said, “The Uganda Cup has been good. We're improving in areas from the league, like set pieces. It's also given young players a chance to play, and we're working well together.”
Massa, known as the ‘minister of defence,’ was on the Pirates team that won the treble, along with teammates like William Nkore, Nathan Bwambale, and Desire Ayera. These players know what it takes to win, and this trophy is a big deal for them.
“We haven’t won the Uganda Cup since 2017-18, so we really want to add it to our collection,” Massa said.
For Massa, the plan for winning on Saturday is straightforward. “We need to get into the game focused from the start. It’s a final, so we have to cut down on mistakes and take advantage of every opportunity,” Massa noted, recalling how the Pirates fell behind by eight points in the first half of their semifinal game against KOBs due to a lack of focus.
The final will be held at the Mandela National Stadium, Namboole, which is a neutral field for both teams. Massa is calling on all the fans to come out and support them like they always do. You fans are why we play, so come cheer on the boys and enjoy some great rugby.”
LIFE AFTER OKELLO: HOW ABDULKARIM WATAMBALA BECAME VIPERS' NEW MIDFIELD COMMANDER
Vipers SC dismantled Police FC 4-1 at Kitende, led by a stunning AbdulKarim Watambala goal to extend their lead at the UPL summit.
Vipers came out flying, up 3-0 by halftime against a stunned Police squad. Once again, AbdulKarim Watambala pulled the strings in midfield, making everything tick.
With this 4-1 thumping at St. Mary’s Stadium in Kitende, Vipers held onto their three-point lead at the top of the Startimes Uganda Premier League heading into the last games of the first round.
Honestly, what was supposed to be a top-of-the-table clash turned into a breeze for the defending champions. They probably played their best half of football since Ivan Minnaert took over as head coach last July.
Watambala, who’s looked like a new man since his close friend Allan Okello left, set up the opener for Milton Karisa with a clever through ball. Karisa made no mistake, poking the ball past a scrambling Mathias Muwanga in the 32nd minute.
Then came the moment of the night. Watambala picked up a pass from Enoch Ssebagala just outside the box, and with police defenders backing off, he smashed a rocket in off the underside of the crossbar. That was his third goal in two games, after his brace in Saturday’s 3-0 win over URA.
Right before halftime, Odili Chukwuma put the game to bed, heading in Usama Arafat’s cross after nutmegging Richard Matovu.
Police barely threatened all evening, but Saidi Kyeyune managed to pull one back with a low shot just four minutes into the second half. It didn’t matter much. Vipers stretched their lead again in the 77th minute, when substitute Yunus Sentamu headed the ball across for Usama to tap in their fourth.
The win pushes the Vipers to 33 points. Police drop to third with 27. KCCA move into second place after brushing aside UPDF 4-0. Sammy Ssebaduka grabbed two goals, with Joel Sserunjogi and substitute Alpha Ssali also on the scoresheet.
UPL UPDATES: KCCA FC HELD IN LUZIRA WHILE POLICE FC CLOSE THE GAP AT TOP
Police FC move to second after beating Calvary, while KCCA is held to a goalless draw by Maroons in a rusty MD13 clash.
After beating Calvary, Police moved up to second place in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League. KCCA didn't score against Maroons, and Entebbe UPPC beat UPDF, keeping the title race close on match day 13.
Police grabbed second place in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League after a 2-0 win against Calvary at Kiira Road on Wednesday.
Breaks during the season are usually a time for teams to regroup and let players rest after many games in a short time. But for the Uganda Premier League, there hasn't been much going on since mid-December, partly because of the 2025 AFCON.
Today's game between Maroons and KCCA in Luzira was different. Both teams seemed out of practice, which might explain the dull game that ended with no score.
Neither team seemed ready to push for a win, and there were few chances to score.
KCCA and Maroons each played one game between December 17 and today, losing to Police and Buhimba United Saints, respectively. That's just one game in 35 days.
Maroons played a physical game, preventing KCCA from controlling the ball and playing their usual style. This could be why coach Brian Ssenyondo took out Ashraf Mugume and Saidi Mayanja at halftime, replacing them with Brian Jjara and Derrick Nsibambi.
The home team kept KCCA away from the goal, and even when they brought in another striker, Emmanuel Anyama, later in the second half, they didn't get many chances.
Maroons defended well as a team to earn a point, putting them in seventh place with 16 points.
For KCCA FC, this result is a setback in their chase for the title. They are tied for first place with 27 points, the same as Police, who beat Calvary FC, and Vipers, who have two games left.
Wednesday's results:
Maroons 0-0 KCCA
Police 2-0 Calvary
UPDF 0-1 Entebbe UPPC
