They were as sublime as you like it!  Wananchi Men and Women sides have painted local hockey in their colors, winning both the Men and Women leagues and certainly the 2016 season will undoubtedly live to stay in their minds.

On Saturday, the teams added a total of five accolades to their collectables during the National Hockey League Awards at Lugogo Hockey stadium.

They took home the two crowns in the ladies and Men's category as their very own Innocent Mbabali and Doreen Asiimwe claimed the MVP awards respectively.

Mbabali who has had a season of his life coaching the Wananchi women's side to the women's trophy and standing out as an umpire and player, received a standing ovation on his way to receiving the trophy.

Thomas Opio was another Wananchi player who was recognized for scoring the most goals in the season (20). "It is always a good feeling to be rewarded of your efforts. Im motivated to go for more" said Opio.

Emmanuel Baguma was also on Wanachi's awards chain, emerging the youngest promising player in the Men's category. It was only weatherheads' Siddy Alum and Deliverance's Vicky Aketch that got to share on the awards.

The former won the Women's top scorer as the latter grabbed the youngest promising female player.
