It was a thrilling closure of the Match Day 8 of the SMACK League as Uganda Cranes Ex Internationals humbled a SMACK League select team 2-0 at Legends Grounds Lugogo on Sunday.
The Ex internationals team boasted former Uganda Cranes stars like Captain George Ssemogerere, Abdullah Mubiru, Dan Wagaluka, Vincent Kayizzi, Iddi Batambuze, Geoffrey Sserunkuma, Abubaker Tabula and Jimmy Kidega among others.
Away from the games, Lilian and her Sundowners Band brought back the memories of Blu*3 when her groupmate Jackie Chandiru made a surprise appearance.
Old Boy Roger Mugisha was the emcee of the evening while DJs Crystal and Aie played tunes that made the old boys reminiscent of the ultimate 1990s party.
Meanwhile, the Uganda Heart Institute (UHI) also conducted a Heart Camp with basic heart checks (screening for blood pressure, blood sugars, and BMI), plus Cardiac consultations and nutrition education on the match day.
“We partnered with UHI to highlight Cardiac conditions in memory of our colleague John Francis Barenzi who recently succumbed to heart-related conditions,” Isaac Ilukor, the Chairman of Vendors 99, the cohort that organised the matchday said.
The SMACK League is a fortnightly soccer league of St. Mary’s College Kisubi
alumni.
