“We expect to kick off the first game at around 8AM and hopefully finish around 5PM for the presentation of the trophies by the sponsors,” said Murombo.

The sponsors have committed themselves to providing medals and equipment for prizes.

Five trophies will be presented to the winners, runners-up and the most outstanding players of the event.

The sponsors said they are eager to continue supporting schools sport.

“Tilus is eager to sponsor the event in the next three years,” she said.
