USSSA bans Kazo School officials for assaulting referee

The Uganda Secondary Schools Sports Association (USSSA) Ankole Zone has imposed a two-year ban on two officials from St. Catherine Girls Kazo for misconduct during the ongoing school championships in Bushenyi.

Games teacher Yoweri Abaho and coach Panwell Bekunda were expelled from the games village after being found guilty of assaulting a centre referee following their team’s 2-2 draw with Bweranyangi Girls. The suspension took immediate effect.

USSSA Ankole Zone General Secretary Obed Natweta stated: “Our core values emphasize discipline and mutual respect. We could not tolerate such behavior and have ordered their immediate removal.”

In the officials’ absence, the team—now under a female teacher’s guidance—secured a 7-0 victory against Ankole High School, advancing their chances in the tournament.
