Jinja SS dethroned Mukono Parents as Champions of Schools Cricket after defeating Mwiri in the final played yesterday at Kyambogo.
Mwiri had a difficult semifinal against Mukono Parents and playing immediately didn’t do them any favours compared their rivals who had an easier semifinal against Nyakasura.
Mwiri failed to get the better of their Jinja rivals only managing to post 75 all out before Jinja SS knocked it over for a loss of only 4 wickets.
Perry Wazombe won the MVP award, with Mwiri captain Marvin Kitamirike won the best bowler, Mukono Parents tailsman Zephaniah Katungi best fielder and Frank Akankwasa best batsman.
