The trophy unveiled this week is christened Margherita, a name derived from the highest peak on the Rwenzori mountain ranges.

Margherita was revealed to the crowd at St. Mary’s Stadium by Vipers legend Tonny Odur.

Vipers SC ended the season with 69 points, two ahead of NEC FC who edged URA FC 1-0 in Lugogo.
