As the Pools National team captain, I cry out to the government, Ministry of sports and the Pool Association of Uganda (PAU) to avail us with support in terms of Food and other basic necessities. We have been away from work for 3 weeks now and we have families to take care of.
He said.
Pool is played in bars and those bars have been closed for a while now, so we don’t have money and food to take care of ourselves and feed our families.
He added.
The Senior and Ladies’ Pool Leagues were suspended on 20th March following the President’s directive to ban all sporting activities for 30 days.
