Scrumhalf Kevin Makmot stretched the lead to 8-0 through a penalty before Musoke registered another try and a conversion by Makmot to end halftime 15-0.
Denis Etucket gave Pirates little hope on return from break a try 15-5 but the perfect foot of Makmot added three penalties to stretch Kobs lead to 24-5 before Lawrence Wakabi sealed the score with a try to 29-5 handing Kobs their second Uganda Cup title in a row and sh2.5m cash prize.
