The highlight result on Matchday 1 of the Sky View Schools Cricket Week was a win by Soroti SSS against former champions Jinja SSS.
When Jinja SSS was winning their first Wricket Week championship, Soroti SSS was only starting to build a cricketing culture.
However, the growth of the game in Soroti is being reflected in the results, with Jinja SSS on the wrong end of the result against Soroti SSS.
In a low-scoring game, Jinja SSS dispatched Soroti SSS for a low total, but their lack of initiative in the run chase failed them, and they ended up falling short by 6 runs.
It is a memorable result for Soroti SSS but worrying signs for Jinja SSS, who will have to win all their remaining games to get out of the group.
In the other morning results, hosts Nyakasura made light work of St Cornellius in a low-scoring game. St Cornellius are one of the debutants.
Masaka SSS battled hard to get past a resilient GoodHeart SSS as they look to push for a semifinal place for the first time.
Lango College, on their debut, overwhelmed Kasese SSS in a big win while Kiira College Butiki put away Shree International.
In the afternoon, 2025 finalists St John’s Mukono Kauga pushed aside Ndejje SSS in a dominant win to lay down the gauntlet as one of the favourites.

Lango College picked up a second win in the day by defeating Olila High School by 5 wickets.
Shree Sahajand Uganda picked up a big 10-wicket win against Rwenzori High School to underline their title credentials.
