The OBB pair of opposite Jonathan Tumukunde and receiver-attacker Cosmas Elijah Apunyo was also in attendance, raising questions as to whether they were crossing from the 2022 champions to the Kasasiro Boys.

As the KCCA Ladies Volleyball team presented their National League trophy to the powers that be at City Hall on Thursday, there were some familiar faces in the audience.

And some left more questions than answers as the public wondered in what capacity they were attending the function.

The victorious ladies had a trophy parade from MTN Omondi Stadium before settling in for a luncheon and interaction with the city Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago and Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka.

Amongst those invited for the celebrations were members of the KCCA men’s team led by head coach Alex Mugoda.

Players Muhammad Iga and Willington Talemwa were also present but in the company of two OBB players whose future has become a topic of interest.

The OBB pair of opposite Jonathan Tumukunde and receiver-attacker Cosmas Elijah Apunyo was also in attendance, raising questions as to whether they were crossing from the 2022 champions to the Kasasiro Boys.

Whereas KKCA remain tight-lipped on any developments in that regard, the function might have been the first of many to come for the two players in the club colours.

OBB fell to Sport-S 2-1 in the semi-finals to end a chaotic season that was highlighted by the constant change of coaches.

Off-court matters seemed to have affected the team’s title defence, and many players are reported to be seeking a future away from the club.

UCU Doves' setter Joseph Okello is the other face that was at the celebrations and is rumoured to be in talks about a possible switch from the university side.

KCCA ended the regular season in seventh place after a 7-11 record and has eyes on improving to compete with the best in the country next season.

Whether Tumukunde and Apunyo are the first pieces to be captured by the Kasasiro Boys in the transfer market, only time will tell.
