Edirisa Lubega’s brace ensured he is this tournament’s top scorer at six goals, having come into the final with four goals to his name.
The king of Buganda Kingdom, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II, was part of a huge crowd inside the stadium that watched Singo hit five past a hapless Buddu side whose spirits were dampened on a damp afternoon.

On wet turf, Singo took a two-goal advantage into the break and returned to pile more misery on their rivals.
Thrice in the second half, Buddu's goalkeeper did the extra work of collecting the ball from the back of his own net as the growth of the scoreline was one-sided.
After Singo's fifth goal, the contest was all but over, and by the final whistle, it was the Singo fans celebrating.
