The first ever edition of the Entebbe Schools Open Woodball Championship held at Lake Victoria Primary School on the international women’s day (8th March 2014) will be regarded as a success according to the Uganda Woodball Federation (UWbF) administrator, John Baptist Kateregga.
“We managed to have participants from 6 schools (2 Secondary and 4 primary schools). The passion from the players and fans was overwhelming. Seeing the fans clap at the ball that passed through every mallet was an eye catching scene”, John Baptist Baptist Kateregga, an official with the Federation told Kawowo Sports at the tournament venue.
The participating schools included; Entebbe JuniorSchool, St. Agnes Primary School – Entebbe, Entebbe Parents School, Airforce Secondary School, Entebbe Changhsa Model School and Lake Victoria School.
“Despite the short period of training we were able to identify some outstanding talents in Namaga Dorothy and Ssemaganda Edson (Entebbe Changsha Model School), Kyalo Charles (Entebbe Junior School), Kizito Mathias (Airforce Secondary School) and Mugisha Lameck (St. Agnes Primary School)”, he adds.
Overall, it was Airforce Secondary School’s Ngobi Umar who stood out at this event. With a good background of golfing, he was able to drive long perfect shot from start to finish.
To help develop the game more in Entebbe, the Federation is organizing a Teachers’ training workshop on April 4, 2014 at Airforce Secondary School.
“We anticipate that this will enable the games teachers train their schools teams on a regular basis. This will be preceded by a similar arrangement in Mukono on March 28, 2014 at Mukono High School”, Kateregga revealed in a press statement.
Kyambogo Open Woodball Championship is on this coming Saturday, March 15, 2014 . Universities, clubs, corporates, secondary and primary schools are all expected.
