Onen Castro David and Colin Cardena were in charge of the Kampala team that had less to complain about but hail the much much improved skills of team play among the Masaka boys who had traveled over 370 km on the same morning to the game venue Makerere University Business School Sport Grounds Nakawa.
This win is the Genesis of a new chapter in the future of juniors lacrosse since the shift in power is inevitable with the resources and team bonding/practices more possible in Masaka than Kampala.
