Busingye out to defend Pool Queen title

USPA pool player of year the 2015 Angela Busingye will have her hands full as she starts her defence of the Pool Queen title in Masaka this Saturday.

The number two seed is among the 64 women expected to converge at Club Klein in Nyendo for the showdown.

With a top prize of sh1m in the ladies-only event, a stiff contest is expected in the Pool Association of Uganda ranking event.

Top seed and 2014 champion Vicky Namuyanja and team mate Jacinta Kajubi are among the top contenders expected in the one-day meet.

Two-time Pool Queen champion Caro Kanzira and seed three Ritah Numisiima, Tracy Nambafu, Mourine Tushabe and Mirembe Sharon are among the players expected in the contest.

The championship is sponsored by Club Klein managing director Robert Kimuli who has offered sh3m for the event including transport from Kampala to Masaka.

This is the second time Masaka is hosting an international event not played in Kampala.

Masaka hosted the Easter Cup, the first national pool event to move outside Kampala won by Jonah Turigye and Nimusiima in the men and women categories respectively.
