Baptist High School will face St. Charles Lwanga Kasasa in a highly anticipated Round of 32 clash at the 2026 Uganda Secondary Schools Sports Association (USSSA) National Netball Championship on Monday, July 13 in Gulu City.
The Kampala Zone champions have been imperious en route to the knockout phase, navigating the group stage unbeaten with five wins from five to underline their title credentials.
Their reward is a meeting with Kasasa, with a potential Round of 16 tie awaiting against either St. Noa Girls Secondary School or Kyantamba Secondary School should they progress.
That possible pathway presents immediate intrigue. Kyantamba face a stern examination against perennial contenders St. Noa, a side synonymous with consistency at this level.
The winner of that contest will advance to the Round of 16, where the stakes rise sharply.
Elsewhere, defending champions Buddo Secondary School begin their title defence against Munta Royal College, intent on asserting early dominance as they seek to retain their crown.
Another fixture drawing considerable attention will see Kibuli Secondary School take on Kajjansi Progressive in what promises to be a fiercely competitive encounter between two technically sound sides.
Equally compelling is the tie between Namagabi Secondary School and Light High School Sseguku, widely viewed as one of the most evenly balanced contests of the round.
With both teams boasting comparable quality, fine margins, particularly discipline and error management under pressure—could prove decisive.
Kaduggala Secondary School’s showdown with Greenlight Islamic School is another marquee fixture, pitting two teams widely tipped as potential quarter-finalists.
The clash is expected to showcase some of the highest-quality netball of the knockout stage.
