Uganda’s netball giants dominate at FEASSA Games in Kakamega

Uganda’s netball powerhouses St. Mary’s Kitende, St. Noa Girls, and Buddo SS continued their unbeaten run at the ongoing Federation of East Africa Secondary Schools Sports Associations (FEASSA) Games in Kakamega, each securing a third consecutive victory in emphatic fashion.

The trio has shown no mercy on the court, delivering commanding performances that underline Uganda’s dominance in the netball category.

On Monday morning at the Masinde University grounds, St. Mary’s Kitende overwhelmed Kenya’s Kaya Tiwi with a staggering 80–12 win. Goal attacker Aisha Nakuya and goal shooter Naboa Delaya were clinical, propelling Kitende to a 21–3 halftime lead.

The third quarter saw Kitende tighten their grip, extending the scoreline to 80–12. Coach Kato Noureddin later rotated his squad, bringing in Basalirwa Hadijja and defensive anchor Scovia “Scoto” Nabuyondo, who kept the pressure high until the final whistle.

Buddo SS delivered the day’s biggest scoreline, dismantling Rwanda’s GS Gahini 84–7. The attacking duo of Hassan Falida and Shabban Saidi were relentless, converting nearly every opportunity and leaving no room for a comeback.

St. Noa Girls also impressed, cruising past Tanzania’s Lutozo Secondary School 56–23. Their sharp passing and fluid movement kept the opposition chasing shadows, further cementing Uganda’s grip on the netball competition.

With these results, Uganda’s three representatives remain unbeaten after three rounds, raising hopes that the netball trophy will return home once again.

Speaking to Vision Sports after Kitende’s win, Coach Kato Noureddin praised his team’s discipline and adaptability:

“Even on a muddy court, the girls showed composure and followed instructions. This is the spirit we need to keep winning.”

Buddo SS Coach Jesse Assimwe echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the importance of finishing strong:

“In netball, never underrate your opponent. When you get the chance to beat them, do it—otherwise, you might regret.”

Meanwhile, in girls’ handball, Kawanda SS extended their flawless record with a thrilling 26–24 victory over fellow Ugandan side Kibuli SS. The win marked Kawanda’s third straight triumph in the group stage, following earlier victories over Tanzania’s Diongoya (31–20) and Kenya’s Dagoretti High School (35–20).

Uganda’s schools are not just competing—they’re commanding attention across disciplines, with netball and handball leading the charge.
