NCD Touch nears finals

The National Capital District Touch competition is heading towards its business end of the regular season after completing round 17 on Saturday, July 26th, 2025, at Sir John Guise Stadium. 

NCD Touch has been dormant for some years, but it was revived this year under the leadership of President Nelson Kopunye and his executives. 

As the normal season draws to a close, the participating teams are lifting their pace and becoming competitive to secure their spots in the playoffs. 

The open division has completed round 17 with 5 more rounds to go, while the senior division is tracking well, including the other divisions, with the finals to be held in October. 

Teams that finished in the top 8 will be qualified to play in the playoffs, with the games to be played on four weekends and the finals to be staged.

NCD Touch Secretary Jack Kirewo said: “We just completed our round 17 for the open division. We have 22 rounds for the open and senior divisions.

“Due to venue clashes, we are thinking of securing a venue to complete our normal season and host our finals during the first week of October.

“It has been challenging, but we are trying our best to complete our season positively and look forward to bringing it to another level next year.” 

Meanwhile, NCD Touch is also running the Prime Minister’s Golden Jubilee Masters competition alongside its actual competition. The Masters competition just ended round 2 and will have three more rounds before the finals are hosted in September.
