The cup is in honor of Mrs Immy Mudoola for her excellent contribution towards women’s rugby. (both senior women and junior teams) Mrs Mudoola also served on the former Uganda Women’s Rugby Association Executive Committee as Vice President in its inception and was behind the formation and growth of a couple of the women’s clubs/teams.  She hosted Thunderbirds for a fully funded camp in Iganga ahead of crucial fixtures like the Brown University game against Thunderbirds.

The Immy Mudoola Cup will also help age grade female players prepare for a structured transition from young players growth through a smooth pathway preparing them for national team and senior club competitions. This annual Cup was used as a tool to encourage senior players to engage with the age grade/upcoming players and mentor them to be the best players.
