MBALE ARE HEROES OF UGANDA

UNFASHIONABLE mid-table club Mbale Heroes won the Uganda FA Cup for the first time since 1976 when they defeated Lyantonde FC 3-0 on penalties after a goalless final. Mbale will represent Uganda in the 2000 African Cup Winners Cup having ended a stranglehold on domestic competitions by Kampala clubs SC Villa, Express and KCC.
