Yes, seven consecutive times and they still seem the favourites to retain the title as the NBL Finals tips off today with game one against finalists Namuwongo Blazers (Nam Blazers).
Well oiled with both finances and the squad, City Oilers long reign at the helm of NBL started since 2013 and they have felled giants UCU, Power, KIU and most recently UCU to stamp their authority.
Nam Blazers face a daunting task but can count on a huge support from everybody else except their opponent’s fans in the Lugogo Arena. However, veracious support has not been enough to stop City Oilers in recent editions.

Top stars Jimmy Enabu, Ben Komakech, James Okello, Tonny Dribella, among others have fended off competition from fierce rivals in recent editions and have the experience to make the difference.
Nam Blazers will surely have to summon the courage to end the dominance of a strong, experienced and determined City Oilers team that only one win; winning!
In the women’s finals JKL Lady Dolphins face UCU Lady Canons, with the Dolphins aiming of its third consecutive title. They are also favourites to defend their crown.
The ladies will tip off at 6:30pm while the men’s game one will tip off at 8:00pm.
