Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Uganda Secondary Schools Sports Association (USSSA) has partly overturned a decision by the Bunyoro zonal leadership not to present any schools to the national boys\u2019 football championship.<\/b><\/p>\n

Bunyoro delivered a radical ruling last week to bar any of their schools that reached the semi-finals of the zonal qualifiers from representing the region.<\/p>\n

The four schools, St. Adolf Tibeyalirwa SS, Masindi Army, Masindi SS and Panyadoli SS were all found guilty of using non-bonafide players in their qualifiers.<\/p>\n

USSSA has agreed with the regional body on disqualifying the four schools but overruled that the three slots be contested by the four losing quarterfinalists after a thorough eligibility test.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe National Committee has reviewed the Bunyoro decision and come up with the following guidance,\u201dUSSSA chief executive officer Christopher Mugisha announced in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe punishment be directed at the four offending schools and not all the schools in the zone; the disqualification of all the semi-finalists for using non-bona fide players be upheld; and the losing quarter finalists be invited for a mini tournament to select the three representatives of Bunyoro Zone,\u201d Mugusha directed.<\/p>\n

The four schools to contest for the slots include Buhimba SS, St. Maliko High, Kabalega SS and Kitara SS.<\/p>\n

Busoga pending<\/b><\/p>\n

In Busoga, Jinja SSS once again reclaimed their lost glory after emerging champions of the region after beating Jinja Comprehensive 3-2 in post-match penalty kicks that followed a 1-1 stalemate.<\/p>\n

The Busoga regional finals were played at Bukooli College.<\/p>\n

The Jinja City champions, Jinja Comprehensive and Lakeside Secondary School Masese have qualified to represent the region at the nationals. However, the regional body was yet to solve a pending petition by Jinja Progressive (Jipra) against Tawheed Institution.<\/p>\n

Jipra filed the petition on Tawheed for alleged use of mercenaries after their 3-2 loss in penalty shootouts during the quarterfinals. Tawheed went on to lose to Jinja Comprehensive in the semis.<\/p>\n

The quarters were marred with more controversies after Busalamu SS from Luuka district abandoned their match against Comprehensive sighting biasness in officiating and administration of the games.<\/p>\n

The zonal tournament organisers had initially resolved not to entertain any more petitions beyond the round of sixteen.<\/p>\n

Jinja SSS and Bunya won the tickets to represent in the Fresh Diary girls’ finals.<\/p>\n
