The Uganda national men pool side (Pool Cranes) captain Oscar Ocacakon has quit active playing after 20 years of diligent service.
I have served pool to the best of my abilities in the last 20 years.
I believe it is time I hung up and look to other aspects of the game like management. It has been a tremendous journey and I thank all my fellow players and team officials
Ocacakon, who skippered the national side to glory at the 2016 All Africa Black Ball pool championship officially announced his retirement on Friday.
This was during a special party organized by Pool Association of Uganda (PAU) and the National Council of Sports (NCS) to congratulate the men and women sides upon winning the Africa championships that were hosted at the Lugogo Indoor stadium in Kampala.
Ocacakon has also been captain of Rock Catalina Pool club in Ntinda.
Besides his excellent man management skills and top discipline, Ocacakon has been also immensely talented with great game reading skills.
Pool Association of Uganda (PAU) is yet to come up with an official statement concerning the new national team skipper.
