USSSA Ankole Zone Ball Games II Winners
St Elizabeth Girls’ Volleyball Team remains an unchallenged force at the Uganda Secondary School Sports Association (USSSA) Ankole Zone Ball Games II, having secured the title for the sixth consecutive time at the event held at Rubaare SS in Ntungamo. They beat Maryhill High School 3-0 in an exciting final at Rubaare Stadium — a familiar clash, as the two sides have met at this stage for the last five years.
