A 12-0 walkover against Bank of Uganda and a 6-6 draw against Police handed the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) the darts league title.
The above results pushed UPDF to level with Uganda Cancer Institute at 50 points each at the top of log, but UPDF emerged champions on head to head point difference in the 11 team-League.
UPDF team captain Abdul Rashid attributed the victory to team work discipline saying that without the two they would not be in a position to defend their title.
“It was a tough league. We started with a defeat against Prisons, but we went back on the drawing board with discipline and team work, we bounced back strong,” Rashid said.
“We have defended our trophy, but it is not over. We are going back on the drawing board to start planning for the remaining trophies that include the Inter-Forces, Inter0-Club and president’s Cup,” Rashid added.
Uganda Wildlife Authority came third with 49 points, while Police and Prisons finished fourth and fifth with 44 and 36 points respectively.
Meanwhile Mzee Baker Khemis the executive member of Kampala Zone has cautioned darters against indiscipline.
He noted that any sport will develop when maximum discipline is exercised and that is when it will attract sponsors to join it.
His words were echoed further by Uganda Darts Association Chairman Abel Ariong who added that smartness and discipline will rebrand the sport to higher heights.
He lauded UDA trustee Lilian Ama for the restless support to the association and the sport.
