DAY three of the East Africa Schools championship saw home teams falter as they struggled to advance to the last eight.

Bweranyangi girls were humiliated 8-0 by Bishop Njenga of Kenya in soccer as Kibuli SS managed a goalless draw against Mombasa at Nakivubo.

In volleyball, Shimba Hills of Kenya beat Layibi College 3-1 and St. Lawrence were crashed 3-0 by Paul Boit SS.

Basketball was not any different in Kabojja. Manjasi HS succumbed to a 71-51 beating from defending champions Maseno (Kenya).

Nabumali followed suit in the girls category falling 67-54 to Tigoi girls.

Kitante girls were also defeated 71-53 by title holders Kamukunji.

Unlike the other disciplines, netball was positive with Gombe continuing the title defense with a 43-30 victory over Ndivisi.

Kitende girls provided backup with a win over Kenya’s Kamukunji as Bishop Njenga defeated Berkeley in an all Kenya schools affair.

Action continues today.
