A beauty from Keita, for his ninth of the campaign, sealed it for the Mukono champions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable but we\u2019re happy to here. We\u2019ll plan accordingly for the next round,\u201d coach Shafiq Mudholo said.<\/p>\n<p>Kings were by press time the first debutants to sail out of the group with 17 points as the other prospects, St Pontiano Ngondwe, await their fate today.<\/p>\n<p>Nile High out<\/p>\n<p>Arua\u2019s pride, Nile High, were knocked out of the tournament after a 1-0 loss to St Mary\u2019s Kitende in a must-win encounter at Green Light Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>The well-attended game saw Kitende grind out a win that put them in control of the group with a game in hand.<\/p>\n<p>But it was not all despair for Nile High. To the neutrals, it was sad to see one of the most talented teams fail to advance but they left a big impression with talents such as midfielder Idd Twalib and forwards Kennedy Echon and Swadiq Moro.<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Wahab Gaddafi, a midfielder with topfight side Arua Hills, was impressed although for the second consecutive championship, they have fallen short of their objectives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll be patient to build a stronger team,\u201d Gaddafi said.<\/p>\n<p>Buddo ease through<\/p>\n<p>A titanic clash awaits 2018 winners Buddo SS in the last 16 when they play either Amus College or St Henry\u2019s College Kitovu. Buddo sealed their place in the knockouts with a 2-0 win over Bulluge Comprehensive. But all is to play for to determine the second place between Bulluge and Gombe High.<\/p>\n<p>Amus College drew 1-1 with Kawempe Royal in a game that was briefly abandoned as Royal protested a penalty against them. Amus, who now have 12 points, can zoom into the last 16 with a win over already eliminated Nkoma SS. Kitovu, who lead Group F with 13 points, play Dokolo Progressive.<\/p>\n<p>Other qualified schools include Uganda Martyrs High School Lubaga, Standard High School Zana, while St Pontiano Ngondwe and Jipra are locked in a battle for the second place.<\/p>\n<p>Royal Giants and Kibuli Secondary School are through in Group C.<\/p>\n<p>USSSA football<\/p>\n<p>MONDAY RESULTS<\/p>\n<p>Kitende 1-0 Nile High<\/p>\n<p>St Benedict 0-1 Kings<\/p>\n<p>Bulluge Comp 0-2 Buddo<\/p>\n<p>Gombe HS 5-0 St Augustine<\/p>\n<p>Toggo 1 -2 Kitovu<\/p>\n<p>Kawempe Royal 1 &#8211; 1 Amus<\/p>\n<p>Teso College 0-5 Jipra<\/p>\n<p>Uganda Martyrs 1-0 Mbale Prog<\/p>\n<p>Nyamitanga 0-4 St Pontiano<\/p>\n<p>Francis Ayume 0-3 St Jude<\/p>\n<p>Latifa Mixed 0-2 Nkoma<\/p>\n<p>God\u2019s Hope 1-2 Restore<\/p>\n<p>Standard High 2-0 Hope SS<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
