Reigning Wakiso and FEASSA champions St. Noa Girls Secondary School-Zana made a resounding statement, trouncing Gayaza High School 57-08 in the most lopsided victory of the day.

Meanwhile, national reigning champions St. Mary’s Boarding Secondary School-Kitende asserted their dominance, beating Exodus College 21-06 to register their first win.
The 2017 and 2018 FEASSA champions, Buddo SS, also secured a convincing 25-05 victory against hosts Elite High School, who had earlier triumphed 24-08 over Trinity College Nabbingo in their opener.
Gayaza High School rebounded from their initial loss to St. Noa Girls, defeating Bethany High School 22-10 to return to winning ways.
The competition resumes today, culminating in the semi-finals on Saturday, followed by the finals later the same day.
