Kampala International University hammers Bugema University

Debutants Bugema University’s challenge in the uganda telecom invitational inter-university games got off to a poor start as Kampala International University beat them in all the sports disciplines.

It was total humiliation in basketball as KIU ladies team smashed Bugema 110-06 in the biggest win recorded in ladies basketball since the games begun. Namukaya Barbara of KIU was on song scoring most shorts/points and her performance made her the best player. In the men’s category, KIU’s Mackmot Oron made the most rebounds in the game to earn them a 68-41 win. Bugema never looked like getting back into the game after trailing 24-06 in the first quarter.

In volleyball, KIU continued to dominate in both the ladies and men’s encounters. The ladies rushed the Bugema team 2 sets straight in less than 45 minutes cruising 25-12 in the first set before wrapping it up 25-15 in the second set. Resistance was displayed by Bugema’s volleyball men’s team losing by 5 points in the first set 25-20, though it was just a matter of time before KIU sealed the second set 25-19 in 1 hour 12 minutes.

Segirinya Saidi scored in each half to complete a clean sweep of all games for KIU securing a 2-0 final score in football. Saidi, headed in the far right corner in the 16th minute after 2 Bugema defenders failed to head away a begging cross from the left frank.
In the second half, a neat finish was ensured after good combination from KIU midfield anchor Otai David (man of the match), who played Saidi clean through to slot home. The football game was played at Villa Park.
