Solutions drew 0-0 with Abukyariire in their final game, finishing the season with 42 points in 19 matches to secure the title. The trophy is named in honor of Fr. George Vollinger, a former school chaplain who passed away a few years ago. While officiating as Guest of Honour at the awards ceremony, Prisons spokesperson and old boy Frank Baine urged the young students to work hard, remain disciplined, and stay determined in order to succeed in life.

He also encouraged them to consider joining the armed forces, such as the police or army, after their studies, noting that these have become great career paths. He cited his own life as an example of success through service. The school headteacher, Rev. Fr. Christopher Katono, thanked the old boys for their continued involvement with the school and students, urging them to maintain the close bond.

Jovoc League chairman, James Yesiga, praised the old boys who formed the teams and expressed satisfaction that their objectives—fighting non-communicable diseases, reconnecting with the school, building networks among alumni, and providing career guidance to current students—had been achieved.
The Jovoc League, an initiative of the school’s old boys to interact and remain connected to their alma mater, has now completed its fifth successful season in as many years.
