Lwanga opened the scores as early as the first minute, tapping into an empty net after a howler by the goalkeeper and Entebbe Soccer Academy captain Okwa.
Ssenyonjo added the second following miscommunication between the goalkeeper and his defenders midway the first half.
Former Soltilo Bright Stars and Sadolin Paints forward Ssegujja scored from 40 yards with Okwa off his line as the first half ended 3-0.
Midfielder Mugerwa, a first half substitute for captain Abubakar Gift Ali galvanized the score-line with a stunning grounded free-kick from 25 yards for the fourth and final game.
Both sides optimally utilized the numerous substitutes’ rule to accord playing time to as many as players on the team as possible.
New signing Arafati Usama, young left back Ibrahim Juma, Elvis Mwanje are some of the junior players who impressed for KCCA in the game.
