Kyadondo has indeed been defined as the home of the Heathens after they defeated the Pirates in the final.
Heathens were 19-12 winners at full time thanks to a try from speed merchant Lawrence Sebuliba and a brace from young lad Daniel Malcolm Okello in the second half.
Heathens drew first blood through a bullish run from Lawrence Ssebuliba who majestically completed a 60-yard run with a try between the sticks, which Daniel Malcolm Okello converted.
Pirates weren’t far behind as former Kyadondo boy Stephen ‘Buju’ Alul ran a race of his own to bring the sea robbers onto the score board.
