The Victoria Sharks swept the entire series, winning the UCU 7s in Mukono, Kyambogo 7s in Kyambogo, Victoria 7s in Kyadondo, and the finale at Makerere.
Makerere was not without drama as the final game between Uganda Martyrs Nkozi and the Victoria University Sharks was locked at 12-12 in sudden death until a moment of mastery from Daniel Kateregga gave the Sharks the winning score.

The Sharks took home the winners’ silverware and had the top try scorer in Aaron Tukei and the leading points scorer in Daniel Kateregga.
