2014 National Pool League:
Men: Skin Samona Pool Club
Women: Gals Pool Club
Upon winning his 6th senior pool league title, Skin Samona director Salongo Kasawuli Samona attributed his sacrifice, talent poach and discipline as key components that drove his side to finish as champions.
I have a strong pool of talented players, disciplined and focused towards winning every accolade available on the pool front
Skin Samona, buoyed by the presence of the reigning national pool open winner, Fahad Ssewankambo, Kampala Open champion, Alfred ‘Black Sheep’ Gumikiriiza and Easter Cup winner, Amos ‘Real Shooter’ Ndyagumanawe finished with 73 points to dethrone last year’s winner, Scrap Yard.
In the ladies league, debutant side, Gals pool club finished aloft the chasing pack on 70 points to win the championship.
Gals recruited massively prior to the start of the 2014 season, acquiring the reigning USPA ladies’ pool player of the year – Ritah Nimusiima and the on-color Shamimu Naluggwa as team skipper, Keziah Wavamunno told Kawowo Sports.
We played every game like it was a final and it is therefore not surprising we are the champions. I thank all my team mates for the spirited display
The two winners pocketed U.shs 1,000,000 each for the hard earned sweat that was handed over by the Pool Association of Uganda (PAU) Chairman, Farouk Kisuze Wamala.
“I thank all the teams for the perseverance and playing with commitment throughout the year. We promise to work tooth and nail to get a sponsor next term” Kisuze promised.
The promotional league (league one) was won by Ntinda Pool Club who will join Indigo, Nansana’s Icon and Mubende’s Red Shooters in the Senior Pool league next year.
Kanyanya’s Global.com, Tansformer, Volts and Capital Nite are thus demoted to the lower league from the senior pool league.
The 2014 league ran without a sponsor following the expiration of Uganda Breweries Limited Pilsner deal last season.
