The favourites at the 2024 Boys School Cricket Week stormed the Super Six unbeaten. Defending champions Jinja SS emerged winners in Group A, losing finalists for the last two years Nyakasura won Group B and record winners Busoga College Mwiri topped Group C.
Jinja SS didn’t have the luck of the toss in the previous games but today having won the toss they put the hammer down and plundered the highest score of the tournament against Ntare School. Ronald Magezi (122) scored the third century of the tournament as the defending champions warmed up for the Super Six.
The push for second place in Group A was a 3-way battle between St Joseph’s College Layibi, Teso College Aloet and St John’s SS Mukono. Teso College held on to their second due to a better Net Run Rate despite St John’s SS Mukono defeating St Joseph’s College Layibi. Teso College Aloet and St John’s SS Mukono finished on the same number of points but edged the former by 0.1.
Nyakasura has gone about its business quietly and hasn’t dropped any points in the group games. They won Group B with Delhi Public School edging out fierce rivals Shree Sahajand despite losing to them in the group games. Gulu High School crushed Shree Sahajand’s party, a defeat that was fatal in their progression.
Gerald Olipa’s bat has carried Busoga College Mwiri through the group games, he notched up his second century of the tournament as the record winners blew away Ndejje SS in their final group game.
