Four teams have today progressed to the semi-finals in Mukono district Post Primaries football tournament, one of the most prestigious football tournaments at the secondary school level commonly known as Copa Coca-cola Championship. Unfortunately, the defending champions of Mukono Kings High School have not made it to the next level.
The semi-finalists include; Latifah Mixed Senior School, Dynamic Senior School, Central College Kabimbiri and Kasawo Senior School.
The Mukono Kings’ one to two goals defeat to Central College Kabimbiri is the game that sparked danger for the defending champions.
Immediately after the blowing of the last whistle, the two camps started pointing fingers at each other saying the two teams were having players who are not mandated to play in the tournament.
Mukono Kings’ coach, Shafic Mudolo told Kyaggwe TV that he had petitioned the organising committee protesting the rival side’s use of players that are not supposed to play in the tournament (bakyuba).
We however learnt that Central College Kabimbiri had also protested some players in Mukono Kings’ squad and petitioned to the organisers.
The eight teams which were grouped into two for the quarter finals have played at Nakanyonyi in Nakifuma-Naggalama Town Council.
Group A had Latifah Mixed Senior School, Dynamic Senior School, Of Yale Senior School and St. Johns Senior School-Kauga.
The teams for group B are; Central College Kabimbiri, Mt. St. Henry’s High School, Kings High School, and Kasawo Senior School.
Some of the results from the played matches include;
Kasawo S.S 2 Vs 1 Mt. St. Henry’s
Kings High 1 Vs 2 Central College Kabimbiri
Kasawo S.S 0 Vs 0 Kings High
Kings High 4 Vs 1 Mt. St. Henry’s
St. John’s 2 Vs 1 Of Yale
Of Yale 0 Vs 0 Dynamic
Latifah 1 Vs 0 Of Yale
