The tournament featured intense competition, entertaining exhibition games, and a vibrant atmosphere highlighted by music and mentorship programs for young athletes.
Defending champions Team Ageno, captained by JT Lady Jaguars and Gazelles forward Sarah Ageno held their nerve in the dying moments to secure a 52-48 victory over Team Kamwada successfully retaining their title.
Team Kamwada led 48-47 with under a minute to play, setting up a tense finale. But Margaret Bagala came up with a game changing steal, intercepting Shakirah Nanvubya’s inbound pass before being fouled on a drive to the basket.
She converted the basket and completed the three point play, pushing Team Ageno ahead by two.
A costly turnover by Team Kamwada gave Fildauce Namuleme a trip to the free throw line, where she coolly sank both shots to seal the win.
With their victory, Team Ageno walked away with Shs3 million while Team Kamwada took home Shs2 million, both prizes courtesy of PostBank, the tournament’s headline sponsor.
