May 15, 2017

The two finalists will be joined by St Mary’s College Kisubi who beat Mbarara High 23-12 to third place, in representing Uganda at the East Africa Games

Namilyango College emerged the Uganda Secondary Schools Sports Associations (USSSA) Ball Games I Rugby champions, after defeating surprise package Ntare School 20-03 in the finals played at NTC Kabale grounds in Kabale.

Mark Osuuna made 2 tries and Joseph Oloya added 1, with Henry Kisitu converting two of the three tries, to give Namilyango their first national title in five years, as Kabale fans made a mockery of the game they watched for the first time.

The two finalists will be joined by St Mary's College Kisubi who beat Mbarara High 23-12 to third place, in representing Uganda at the East Africa Games due in Gulu-Uganda in August this year.

In Girls soccer, holders Kawempe eliminated favourites Kibuli SS with a 2-1 quarter final win to reach their 15th consecutive semi-final set against new comers Uganda Martyrs who beat Bishops  Mukono 3-2.

In the other quarter final, Mukono High beat fancied St Noa 2-0 to set up a semifinal date against Gadaffi who needed a 4-3 win on penalties against Dynamic SS.

In Basketball girls, holders St Mary's Kitende reached their sixth consecutive national final following a 36-32 semifinal win over new comers St Noah and will meet rivals Buddo SS, who beat Kibuli SS 40-38 in a tense semifinal at hosts St Mary's College Rushoroza courts.

In boys Hockey, Ntare School beat City High 3-1 to emerge the champions with 13 points, after holders Kakungulu Memorial were shown the exit for using ineligible players.

Ntare School will be joined by St Charles Kasasa and Namilyango College to represent Uganda at the East Africa Games.

The girls soccer semis and finals and the Basketball finals will be played tomorrow before the official closing ceremony and awards giving at Kabale Municipal Stadium.
