Super 8 Groups

  • Group A: Olila High, Jinja SS, St John’s SS Mukono, Mt St Henry’s
  • Group B: Masaka SS, Light SS, Masindi SS, Sacred Heart School

Girls Cricket Week defending Champions, Olila High School, were tested by Mt St Henry’s High School in their first Super 8 match, but they found a way past the Mukono-based school.

Olila High was chased down a low total, but they had to dig deep to find the four-wicket win, which keeps them unbeaten thus far.

The highlight match of the Super 8 was the clash between record winners Jinja SS and St John’s SS Mukono. Jinja SS batted first, and a great bowling display from St John’s restricted them to a modest 71, with Victoria Pearls fast bowler Irene Mutonyi putting in a great 3/6 spell in her quota of four overs.

St John’s started so slowly in the run chase, and that was their undoing. With the required rate creeping up, the wickets started to fall, and in the end, they ran out of resources with runs still required for the win.

It was a terrible start for St John’s SS in their push for a semifinal place, and the win kept the unbeaten record of Jinja SS intact.

In the placement games, Ndejje SS pushed Soroti SS to the end, but the Eastern girls held their nerve to win by just one wicket. Ndejje’s captain, Blessing Apio, had an outstanding bowling performance; she picked up four wickets without conceding a run in her quota of four overs. She was unfortunate to be on the losing end, but a performance that will give Ndejje SS more confidence in their next games.

The week-long tournament hosted by Gulu City will conclude on Saturday, with the top 2 sides in the two Super 8 groups qualifying for the semifinals and then finals.

Defending champions Busoga College Mwiri started their quest for the 21st Boys Cricket Week title with easy wins against Gulu High School and Shree International School.

Mwiri are missing some key players due to the FESSSA games in Morogoro, but they were still good enough to pick up two wins that took them to top spot in Group A.

Ntare School is in second spot in the same group after picking two wins of their own against Kiira College Butiki and Gulu High School.

The top 2 sides in each group will advance to the Super 8, which is the business end of the tournament.

In Group B, St John’s SSS Kauga continue to show their intentions and have maintained their 100% so far in the tournament with a six-wicket win against GoodHeart SS.

The 2025 semifinalists are counting on the experience of U-19 stars Jackson Asiku and Ali Balidawa to get them over the line. Masaka SSS will be their competition for top spot in Group B and the clash between the two tomorrow should decide the group winner.

Newcomer Soroti SSS is on the top step in Group C, but they have former champions Jinja SSS with an interest in progression, while hosts Nyakasura School, in their own backyard, will be interested in winning their first title.

Devansh Patel backed up his reputation as one of the stars of the tournament with a dominant century against Olila High School. Shree Sahajand made the semifinals in 2025, and with the playing field very even this year, they know they have a chance of winning their first title.

The U-19 superstar plundered 11 maximums and 10 boundaries en route to 125 off 57 balls, with his side racking up the highest total of the tournament thus far. It is a clean record of three out of three for the Central Region winners.

Action will continue on Match Day 3 across six different venues in Fort Portal.

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.

Soroti SSS followed up their win in the morning with another win against St Martyrs Sonde to make it two in two and continue their charge to make it to the Super 8.

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.

Newcomers, Soroti SSS and Lango College, were the biggest winners on Match Day One of the championship.
