A player has three seconds to release the ball, but within those seconds she must decide where to pass, how hard to pass it, how high the ball should go and where the defender is positioned. For you to calculate all those things, there is no way you can tell me that you can think all those things in three seconds and you can’t gain anything when you’re reading.
Playmaker Jones Kamiza, forward Allan Karuhanga and winger Mark Lagat are among the players selected to represent Uganda at the tournament, scheduled for September 2 to 7 at the Coetzenburg campus in Stellenbosch.
The title takes UCU back to the summit of Ugandan women’s basketball and extends their record to nine National Basketball League championships.
With Prossy Basemera scoring for the second time in a row, Cathy Nassimbwa netting her fourth goal in the last three games for the Lady Cardinals, and Ritah Adyero sealing the victory, the efforts of the star players overshadowed the only goal for BUL FC Women. The visitors’ goal came from an own goal by Lady Cardinals goalkeeper Annita Akayo after a shot by Shifa Namubiru struck her back and went into the net.
SJMC and Social Sciences edged the School of Business 25-23 to win the UCU Inter-Faculty Netball title, while FEDAT dominated the School of Law 76-46 in the basketball final, sealing a memorable double finale to the university’s Inter-Faculty Games.
Combined School of Social Sciences and SJMC team defeated FEDT 2-0 to win the UCU Inter-Faculty Games 2026 title. Goals from Diego Mugambwa and tournament top scorer Simon Arike capped a disciplined performance built on tactical execution and resilient defending.
One of the developers, Bak Kau Nak, explained that the scoreboard is designed to support multiple sports, including basketball, football, volleyball, netball, and any other sport that requires timekeeping and scoring.
Coached by UCU Canons shooting guard Zachariah Ekirappa, the SJMC and Social Sciences side put up a determined performance to seal the podium finish in a highly contested encounter.
The win was pivotal on the well-coordinated backline of UCU Lady Cardinals, commanded by Prossy Basemera and Harriet Muwugumya, as well as the team’s ball carrier upfront, Cathy Nassimbwa, who was in her prime form so far this season, making the defence of Jinja United Women FC look shaky.
