FALCONS star Henry Malinga expectedly walked away with the basketball Most Valuable Player (MVP) award in Kampala at the weekend.

Malinga beat his brother and teammate Eric to the division one title at the annual award ceremony of basketball governing body FUBA.

The women’s award went to KCC Leopards’ Linda Tamale who edged her colleague Becky Akullo.

The MVP award (men) in division two was taken by Crane High’s Phillip Wakimwero while Andrew Mugisha took the division three crown.

FUBA also recognised Charging Rhinos as the most disciplined team and UCU Canons that scooped the award as the best defensive team.

Warriors Steven Okias, the top scorer in division, one was also rewarded.
