Fortunately, the drama goes to the Grand Finale with the main cup playoffs played between the top 4 where the TBL Season 7 champions will be crowned, and the teams that finish5th to 8th will compete for the 2nd tier George Semivule Cup,” noted Akampa.

Lennon Ssemuwemba, the top scorer and current league MVP, expressed his thoughts on the season and his team’s goals.
“This season has been tough, and teams that have previously not performed well came out a lot more organized and have been consistent throughout the season. Our goal as Endgame is to win the second tier George Semivule Cup and leave happy with a trophy on the day.” Ssemuwemba remarked.
Akampa added, “The TBL Grand Finale this Sunday has something for everyone. The football will be amazing, Fik Fameica and Kohen Jaycee will be performing, and Fem DJ will be entertaining us on the day. There will be games, family activities, and plenty of fun. A special thank you to Guinness for making it all possible.”
