Jinja faces
disqualification
SOCCER - National Council of Sports (NCS) has threatened to disqualify Jinja district from the Coca-Cola Cup for fielding Jinja SS in the on-going qualifiers. Jinja SS, who hosted the annual tournament last year, were handed a three-year ban last year after its students roughed up referee Peter Kitegana during the quarter-finals. NCS official Nicholas Muramagi yesterday said council had ‘disturbing' reports that Jinja SS were drawn in the qualifiers. "To enter a banned school in the competition is against the rules. Jinja will automatically be disqualified," Muramagi stressed. Arua will host the finals of the national post primary schools event next month.
