St. Marys Kitende's assistant captain Patricia Namanoa says her side is determined to avenge their weekend defeat against Buddo SS as the two sides meet at the National Netball Rally this week.

Namanoa believes they would have won the National Netball Novices title at the weekend if it wasn't for the poor officiation in the final that they lost 19-17 to Buddo SS.

"You could clearly see that the umpires were favouring them (Buddo) right from the start, but I know we still have a chance to revive our lost glory at the netball rally," Namanoa stated.

The mouthwatering final saw youngsters showcase their talent as they kept the fans on their toes throughout the 30 minutes game played at Namboole.

It was a little hard to predict who the winner would have beene right from the start not until Buddo's captain Immaculate Natasha intercepted Kitende's centre pass two minutes into the final whistle.

Natasha then passed the ball to goal attacker Sharon Achyen who also looped it to well-placed goal shooter Christine Namulumba to score the vital goal that saw them emerge champions in the secondary schools category.

"We took time to study their games right from the start, so we knew which positions needed to be strengthened and that's how we managed to beat Kitende," Buddo's newly appointed coach Jesse Asiimwe said.      


Buddo beat Exodus 20-17 in the semifinal, while Kitende thumped St. Noa23-17 to book a slot in the final.

In the clubs category, first timers Nzururu netball club from Kasese fell to Civil Aviation Authority in an interesting final that ended 26-13.
