Zulus (Class of 2009) were crowned champions of the SMACK League season five on Sunday as the campaign came to its closure on Sunday at Legends grounds in Lugogo, Kampala.

Coming into the final day of the season, the Zulus held a point lead against Block Owners and they needed a victory against Outkasts to secure their title.

However, the surge didn’t start on the right track after going down in early exchanges.

But when Emmanuel Ssekandi leveled matters with a powerful effort, Zulus oozed confidence and started to take the game to their opponent.

Ronald Mujuzi, Raymond Tumuhimbise, Bonny Mugabe, and John Kimuli added one each to seal a 5-2 win and spark wild title celebrations.

Block Owners could only settle for Silver after their 2-1 win over the Devils, to finish the campaign on 42 points.

It has been a wonderful campaign for Zuluz who finished third from the bottom in the Season which was won by Alqs.

The SMACK League is sponsored by Guinness who treated the fans to fitting celebrations.

“We are very happy that we have come to the finale, we have been with the SMACK League right from the start and I am proud to see them get bigger and bigger each season,” said UBL Brand Manager Elizabeth Mutamuliza.

“This league is more than just football, it’s an opportunity to network and socialize with friends and above all, that is what Uganda Breweries stands for – celebrating life every day everywhere.

“Kudos to the organizers they have continued to up their game and this has become a favorite Sunday proggie as Guinness, we are happy to be part of this. We are the number one fan of Football.”

The celebrations continued late into the night with performances from Kenneth Mugabi, television personality Etania and Azawi.

There were also individual awards to best performers including Coach of the Season (Joseph Ilukor of the Block Owners) Goalkeeper of the Season (Moses Kwagala), Top Scorer Award (Michael Kitaka) and the Most Valuable player award (Steven Dungu).
