Golf will be included on next year’s Corporate League competition calendar, organisers have said. Soft drink manufacturers Coca-Cola, who have won the league trophy three years in a row, will sponsor the golf tournament.
“We are going to ask all the 37 companies to send four people for the inaugural tournament which we hope will be held around mid March,” Corporate League president Sam Tumuhimbise during a dinner to mark the end of the 2010 season at Hotel Africana on Saturday.
He added that subscription fees for teams would be increased from Shs1.3m to Shs1.5m.
The Corporate League brings together staff from different companies to compete in sports disciplines including football, volleyball, netball, pool, athletics, swimming and table tennis, among others.
Uganda Sports Press Association (Uspa) president and Daily Monitor sports editor Mark Namanya was the guest of honour at the dinner.
