We treated every game like a cup final, admits Vipers’ Willa
Newly crowned Star Times Uganda Premier League champions, Vipers for the season 2019/2020 are still basking in glory of the feat, after the FUFA Executive passed on the decision to abruptly end the football business because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
There have been celebrations (of course scientific) by the Venoms who have now won their fourth premier league trophy (2010, 2015, 2018 & 2020).
Roving right back Paul Willa, signed from Police at the start of the season cites a number of factors for this sweet achievement.
Bar the collective effort of management, technical team, players and fans, Willa hinted on the element of taking every match in thy midst like a cup final.
A final, is normally a do or die affair where it is a winner takes it all affair. This is exactly how the Vipers’ players reacted each match on the menu, amassing 54 points from 25 matches.
It has always been team work at the club that had led us to this season championship it has never been easy but we managed every situation because every game was a final.
Paul Willa
In a special way, Willa lauds the club president Dr Lawrence Mulindwa, fellow teammates, coaches and the fans for the collective team work mentality.
Since day one, It was God. Special thanks goes to the club president (Dr Lawrence Mulindwa),fans,teammates,coaches for the hard work and commitment that every one has invested in this championship
