  1. ^ Prior to the first leg the Ugandan and Kenyan unions had agreed that the women’s Elgon cup would be a one off tie with the winners being crowned in Nairobi as the URU had insufficient funds to host the Kenyans in Kampala for the return leg. However, after the women’s game and the trophy being handed over to the Kenyans, the chairmen of both unions announced at the dinner that Uganda had secured late sponsorship and would be able to host the return leg that would determine the Elgon Cup winners[1]. However, Kenya refused to hand over the Elgon Cup trophy after the second leg, claiming that they were the 2011 Elgon Cup champions as the 2nd leg was just a test friendly.
