Busoga College Mwiri against St John's High School, Kauga; What a fitting finale to the 2025 Boys Schools Cricket Week!

 

Mwiri booked their place in the final with a nine wicket victory over Shree Sahanajand, while Kauga defeated hosts Nyakasura by four wickets while chasing 105 for victory.

 

Jordan Oketcho plundered 4/12 as Mwiri bowled out Sahanajand for 40 in 14.5 overs.

 

It was remarkable to say the least, given the calibre of opponent Sahanajand have been in the tournament, winning six of eight outings.

 

The Kauga - Nyakasura battle was more closely contested but the quality of the former was still evident.

 

Derrick Oketcho took 3/20 in four overs as Kauga limited Nyakasura to 104/10 in 17.3 overs. Nyakasura's Badru Zaid, Philemon Rwothomio, Samuel Ahasibwe and Derrick Nyakahuma scored 19, 18, 17, and 11 runs respectively.

 

In reply, Robert Owili scored an unbeaten 58 off 45 to lead Kauga on course to reaching a historic final.
