In a thrilling clash at the Lugogo Hockey grounds, KHC Swans emerged triumphant as they defeated Wananchi Ladies 3-0 to claim the coveted Uganda Cup title.

Hot on the heels of their National League triumph the previous weekend, the Swans were on a quest for a quadruple, having already claimed the Easter Cup trophy and the Pearl Of Africa Women’s Cup.

Wananchi, despite facing setbacks throughout the 2023 season, assembled a formidable lineup for the Uganda Cup final, hoping to upset the Swans. Absences of key players like Doreen Asiimwe and Consolate Muber in the crucial fixture didn’t deter the team in green from stepping up to the challenge.

The first half of the match featured end-to-end action, with both teams creating opportunities to take the lead. However, neither side managed to find the back of the net, leaving the crowd eagerly awaiting a breakthrough in the second half.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Swans’ substitute Carol Aguti, who had entered the field in the 24th minute, delivered a moment of brilliance. Aguti broke the deadlock with a superb goal, putting the KHC side in the lead and sending ripples of excitement amongst the KHC fanbase.

Not content with just one goal, the Swans aimed to secure their victory by extending their advantage. In the 55th minute, they capitalized on a penalty corner opportunity, with Captain Abeja Vanessa tapping in the ball from close range to double their lead. And just moments later, Immaculate Nakku sealed the fate for Wananchi with a well-taken goal, leaving no doubt about who would emerge as the champions of the Uganda Cup.

As the final whistle blew, the resounding scoreline of 3-0 in favor of the KHC Swans echoed throughout the Lugogo Hockey grounds. The jubilant celebration began as the Swans claimed the Uganda Cup trophy, adding another remarkable achievement to their incredible season.

The Swans’ remarkable run in the Uganda Cup, coupled with their previous successes in the 2023 season, has firmly established them as a force to be reckoned with in Uganda Hockey.
