Galaxy FC completed a season for the ages over the weekend, becoming the first ever Invincibles in the Kitabi Seminary Old Boys Association (KISOBA) League history and celebrating their second championship in style at a vibrant Guinness powered season finale held at Kalanoga Resort in Busabala.
Galaxy, the class of 2014-19 had already sealed the title in the penultimate round last month, but they still approached the final match with the same discipline and assurance that carried them through the campaign.
Facing Ghetto Class (2005) in the last fixture of the round robin season, Galaxy produced a controlled performance that ended in a 0–0 draw, a result that was enough to preserve their unbeaten record and close out the season on 46 points.
Their latest triumph adds to the title they won in 2023. In only four seasons of the competition, they have established themselves as one of its defining forces.
Behind Galaxy, Millenium FC (36 points), Giants FC (35 points), Ghetto FC and (33 points) rounded out the top four of the season. 19 teams were in the competition.
Galaxy’s dominance was reflected in the individual awards, with Edwin Nitusingiza claiming MVP after keeping 13 clean sheets in 16 games and Joseph Vet Mukama taking the Golden Boot with 11 goals. Giants FC also featured through Edson Nkahebwa, the Top Provider with 11 assists, and Bob Nuwahereza, who posted a league best 15 clean sheets.
KISOBA League president Martin Byamukama praised the growth and increasing professionalism of the competition.
“This season has been successful on every front, from the level of play to the spirit of the alumni community. We are eager to go again next season, and we thank everyone whose effort made this season possible,” Byamukama said.
The finale delivered festival vibes. Guinness elevated the experience with immersive fan zones while Live DJ sets kept the crowd charged throughout the afternoon and into the evening.
Some alumni from other Guinness affiliated Old Boys Leagues turned up too, adding colour and camaraderie to the celebrations.
