Barely a week after the climax of Uganda’s signature golf championship, the prestigious Johnnie Walker Uganda Golf Open series, here comes a promising event on the block, the Clash of Titans schools golf tournament.

Now entering in the fourth edition since inception, the Clash of Titans is fast garnering steam and momentum with a two legged affair this year.

Hima Cement’s timely announcement of a sponsorship package worth Ug.Shs 65,000,000 alongside the commitment from the other partners is bold testament to the growth of this championship.

The official press conference ahead of the opening contest this Saturday was held right besides the 18th green of Uganda Golf Club (UGC) in Kampala on Monday, 15th September 2025.

UGC is the venue that shall host the first leg on 20th September 2025 with the second and finale coming at the par-71 Entebbe Club on 27th September 2025.

Judging from the venom spitted by the representatives from some of the participating schools and the organizers’ readiness, the writing is well spelt on the wall; the event is eagerly awaited for.

“This year, we are ready to have the Clash of Titans schools golf championship with two legs; the first in Kampala and the finale in Entebbe. This will be the fourth time in a row as we grow from strength to strength. We thank Hima Cement for the sponsorship and all the other partners” Eng. Dr. Milton Edimu, the chief organizer remarked at the launch.

Jona Kitawona, the Brand and communications manager at Hima Cement expressed delight upon partnering with this tourney that has grown through leaps and bounds.

“As Hima Cement, we are proud to associate with the game of golf, particularily with the Clash of Titans schools’ tournament. We have sponsored a number of tournaments in Entebbe, Kampala, Fort Portal and Kasese. We remained committed to seeing this game grow” she reasoned.

Uganda Golf Club who host the first leg were ably represented by the captain Paul Rukundo.

Rukundo highlighted the significance of such a championship which brings together golfers through their former schools.

“Uganda Golf Club is more than ready to host the first leg of the Clash of Titans golf tournament on Saturday, 20th September 2025. Such a tournament rekindles the golden memories golfers had at their respective schools” Rukundo stated.

The grand finale comes a week later on the 28th September 2025 at the lake-side Entebbe club, where the trophy will be rewarded.

At the launch, Entebbe club was represented by Adoch Lumu.

“The idea of the clash of Titans golf tournament was mooted from Entebbe club. For this reason, we asked to host the grand finale on the 28th September 2025. Such a championship is very good for networking” Lumu revealed.

Stanbic Bank is excited to be associated with the Clash of Titans Golf Tournament as we focus on school Ob’s and Og’s, quite an interesting networking avenue as we interface with our existing customers and also an opportunity to meet those not on board.
