Boni Consilii Girls’ School football team emerged winners of the Ankole Zone Secondary Schools Football Championship after defeating Sheema Girls 1–0 in the final played at Ibanda PTC Grounds on Sunday evening.
Ariho Rinah scored the lone goal from the penalty spot as the Isingiro-based school secured the title for the third consecutive time.
Peace Muduwa, who scored 26 goals, was named both the top scorer and the Most Valuable Player of the tournament, while Ankunzire Anita of St Andrews Rubindi was named Best Goalkeeper.
“I am happy for these accolades and the title as well. It was a tough game, but we thank God for the victory. We are going to put in more effort to ensure we represent the Ankole Zone well at the national championship,” Muduwa said.

Christopher Mande, who represented the USSSA national executive at the final, commended the Ankole Zone for the successful organisation of the championship.
“I would like to thank the Ankole Zone executive for the excellent organisation of the games. You are a role model to other zones, and if others emulate you, we would have the best championships countrywide,” Mande noted.
Ankole Zone Chairman Egidio Mucunguzi praised the teams for their discipline throughout the competition and thanked Ibanda PTC for hosting the event.
