Victoria University has cemented its status as the powerhouse of university rugby, defending the Association of Uganda University Sports (AUUS) title with a string of commanding victories.
The champions showcased their supremacy with four crushing wins and a single narrow loss, securing gold on superior try count.
The campaign began with a statement 22-0 demolition of Makerere University, setting the tone for a ruthless tournament.
Kyambogo University were next, swept aside 28-0 as Victoria tightened their grip.
The champions then unleashed their full firepower against Kampala International University, running riot in a 47-5 annihilation, before completing their dominance with a 33-7 dismantling of Uganda Christian University.
Only Uganda Martyrs University managed to halt the charge, edging Victoria 14-12 in a tense showdown.
But even that momentary setback couldn’t derail the champions, who finished with a flawless record in the remaining matches.
Uganda Martyrs University mounted a brave and disciplined challenge, finishing with three wins, one draw, and one loss to claim the silver medal.
Their victory over Victoria proved their credentials, but consistency and scoring power ultimately separated first from second.
Victoria University didn’t just defend their title, they defended their throne.
They didn’t just dominate the standings, they defined the standard. University rugby in Uganda just got a whole lot fiercer.
