While Kawempe Muslim SS threw the ultimate football fiesta, finishing with a stellar 13 points, Boni Consili Girl’s School wasn’t left out of the party. They scooped the silver with a swagger, just one point shy of the summit. St. Noa Girls SS claimed bronze, adding a touch of bronze bling to their collection.

Meanwhile, Shadia Nabirye of Kawempe Muslim SS, Gloria Mutesi of Jinja SS, and Sumaiyah Nalumu of St. Noa Girls SS brought their A-game to the pitch, dazzling spectators with breathtaking performances and goal-scoring flair.
