Kyantamba Secondary School produced the biggest upset of the USSSA Ball Games II netball Round of 32 after eliminating tournament giants St Noa Girls Secondary School with a thrilling 25-24 victory on Monday at Gulu High School.
In one of the standout performances of the day, Kyantamba’s shooting duo remained composed throughout a tense contest, converting crucial chances with remarkable accuracy to edge out one of the tournament favourites and book a place in the Round of 16.
Joining them in the next stage is Kayunga District champion Namagabi Secondary School, who overcame Light High School Sseguku 22-17 in another closely contested encounter. Namagabi kept their composure in the closing stages to seal their place among the last 16, setting up a mouthwatering clash against Kibuli Secondary School.
Another blockbuster fixture saw Kaduggala Secondary School edge Greenlight Islamic Secondary School 17-15 in what many considered the match of the day at Gulu High School playground. Kaduggala held their nerve in a fiercely contested battle, while Greenlight’s normally reliable shooter, Korea, struggled to find her rhythm and paid the price.
However, the result remains subject to change after Greenlight Islamic lodged a petition with USSSA, alleging that Kaduggala fielded an ineligible player. Tournament organisers are yet to issue a verdict, leaving the final Round of 16 slot involving Kaduggala hanging in the balance.
Defending champions Buddo Secondary School underlined their title credentials with a commanding 39-10 victory over Munta Royal College, while Kibuli Secondary School squeezed past Kajjansi Progressive 23-22 in one of the closest contests of the opening knockout round.
The Round of 16 will be played on Tuesday morning at Gulu High School.
