Zian Ithungu and Winnie Nabbale put the Sharks ahead in the opening 27 minutes of the game.

It was a perfect start to the duel and it looked like She Corporate would finish the campaign with a perfect result after they had a season to forget.

However, in the 73rd minute, Agnes Nabukenya pulled one back for Kawempe Muslim who had wasted a number of glorious chances earlier in the game.

Seven minutes later, Suzan Nalukoda leveled matters to silence the fans of the Nakawa-based side.

Elsewhere, Resty Nanziri scored late to cancel Joweria Nagadya’s early strike as Lady Doves shared spoils with Kampala Queens at IUIU, Kabojja.

After the full-time whistle, Kampala Queens were crowned the fifth-time FWSL champions with 47 points gathered from 18 games.

The Queens of Soccer took over the crown from She Corporates with whom they levelled points but had fewer goals in last year’s campaign.
