National Pool Championship:
Saturday, 22nd October 2016
Lugogo Indoor Stadium
Pool Association of Uganda (PAU) seed 19 Musa ‘Born Fire’ Sekiliba has echoed his readiness to challenge previous winners of the biggest event in the country.
Sekiliba defeated Icon Pool player Patrick Mujuzi 5-1 in an exciting best of 9 Final at Lumas Pool Arena.
Musa had earlier survived Indigo’s Innocent Ariyo who led him 3-0 in the Semi finals but managed to overcome the shock to win him on a decisive frame.
2014 losing finalist Ivan Kanyesigye lost to Patrick Mujuzi in the quarter finals which ended his dream of being part of this year’s grand finalists. Kanyesigye’s form in all recent PAU organised events had declined.
He however picked on a big fan base when he reached the finals in 2014 before loosing to Fahad Sewankambo.
But since then, he hasn’t proved that he was worthy winning that Prize.
Indigo’s Innocent Ariyo won 3-1 Senior Nasser Walugembe in the third place play off.
In Entebbe at Red Roosters, SkinSamona’s Godfrey ‘Fire’ Settumba beat Indigo’s Solomon Nkwakira in Finals 5-0 to book his place on the 128 list that is going to play at the Lugogo Indoor Arena.
Nkwakira ended his 3 years record of not playing in the Finals as his best last attempt was when he lost in the 2013 Quarter Finals against Semuzibu Abby which made him collapse before spending some hours in Coma.
The 128 finalists will come to know their opponents on Tuesday at the draws that will be held at Rock Catalina in Ntinda.
PAU Executives shall host the Uganda Sports Association (USPA) and Nile Breweries staff in a friendly Challenge after the Draws.
This Year’s winner is to walk away with a Brand New Toyota Mark II Grand.
