Kawempe Muslim Secondary School secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory against St Noa Girls in the semifinals of the 2024 USSSA Games on Thursday evening.

In a tight game played at Standard High Ndejje Campus, Hadijah Babirye’s finish was the difference between the two sides.

It was a cagey game in the opening minutes as neither side had hardly taken charge of the proceedings.

Five minutes to the end of the first stanza, Babirye was brave to node home from close range before getting into a challenge with St Noa’s custodian.

Babirye kept her eyes on Sharifah Nakimera’s long effort before guiding it into the back of the net.

In the second half, St Noa pegged Kawempe Muslim onto the back foot but failed to guide the ball past the goal line.

On several occasions, Sumaiyah Nalumu whipped in nice deliveries in search of Sylvia Kabene, but the forward was a shadow of himself.

Despite St. Noa throwing in everything upfront Kawempe’s backline stood tall and calm to keep everything in their favour.

In the other semifinal encounter, Rines SS registered a sweet 2-0 victory against defending champions Amus College.

Last year’s finalists, Amus College and St Noa will face off in the classification game before the final gets underway.

Shayline Opisa fired Amus College ahead with a powerful effort from close range in the third minute of the game.

Midway through the first stanza, Sacred Heart pilled more pressure on Amus College, but the backline stood calm and tall.

Opisa nearly doubled Amus’ lead in the 28th minute, but his effort went directly to the custodian’s palms steps away from the goal line.

With five minutes to end the first stanza, Opisa was gifted through Sacred Hearts’ backline howler and the forward converted from close range.

Four minutes into the second half, Opisa completed a hattrick with a low, powerful strike after beating her marker to pace.

Edina Wanda’s first touch off the well-taken corner found the corner of the net as Amus College kept their candle burning.

Doreen Wandera was on the end of a quick counterattack as Amus College added more salt to the wounds of Sacred Heart.

Four minutes later, Ssekatte doubled St Julian’s lead with a simple but brilliant finish after Amus College’s backline failed to get the ball out of its goal area.

Midway through the second stanza, Amus College’s captain Toto Najub was sent off for a handball that denied a goal-bound effort.
