The Pool Association of Uganda (PAU) clubs knock out first weekend ended on Sunday with Favourities Hotpool losing to CKI in a highly contested crunch of Second Round at Lumas pool arena, along Namirembe road in Kampala.
CKI had to wait until its reserved player Herbert Ndugga cracked in a beautiful double black into the center pocket against Hot pool’s Fred Namanya in the 22nd frame to give his side a deserved 13-09 triumph and qualifying for the next stage.
Muto Mansuur, Musa Ssekiliba, William Mirembe and the reigning national champion Sula Matovu were superb as they each netted three blacks in the match.
CKI will face Rock Catalina in the Quarterfinals and if CKI wins, they are likely to face the defending Champions Skin Samona in the Semi Finals.
Skin Samona will battle it out with Indigo in Quarters. Rock Catalina eliminated their neighbors Maga in second Round.
Oceans Pool Club gave Scrap Buyers a tough time when they came from 04-11 to lose 13-11 thanks to Joseph Mutawe who scored the winning frame against Oceans captain Kiwanuka Elisha.
