Special moments in life have always necessitated special personalities to execute special roles on special times for specific purposes.

Amus College School’s special player and most on form player Allan Oyirwoth exactly rose to the occasion for the special assignment at hand.

His goal against Rwandese opposition CGFK at the St Benadette Save ground in Huye city, Rwanda secured Amus College the pathway to the semi-finals of the FEASSSA boy’s football tourney.

By the time Oyirwoth scored that beautiful goal, a turn and shoot strike past goalkeeper Samuel Rukundo, the team was on a soul searching mission.

Alvin Ssekamate, Denis Ssemujju, industrious forward Murushid Wandera and Oyirwoth himself had all had different attempts at goal not successful.

The school from Rwanda also had close chances not converted through Emmanuel Ushizimpumu, Moise Ishimwe and Didie Kayiranga.

Amus College gallantly held onto the second half goal from Oyirwoth, his fifth of the tournament to fetch maximum points, good enough to qualify for the semi-finals (10 from 4 matches thus far).

Meanwhile, St Henry’s Kitovu, another Ugandan school in group A overcame Kenya’s Shanderema 2-0 to make it 8 points and need a point off St Anthony to progress to the semi-finals.

In the same pool, Kalangalala (Tanzania) lost 0-2 to Kenyan school, St Anthony.

The football group stage matches climax on Thursday, 24^th August 2023.
