Over Shs60 millions (about Frw 20.3 millions) has been set aside for the event that ticks off tomorrow.

Uganda’s top clubs (Impis and Pirates) are expected to meet stiff competition from Kenya’s in-form KCB (Kenya Commercial Bank) who dominated Kenya’s rugby season.
Impis are the defending champions.
