HUYE, Rwanda — As the fervor of the FEASSSA 2023 championship engulfs Huye, Rwanda, it’s the primary schools football division that has captured the hearts of spectators, drawing attendees from far and wide to witness the impressive skills of these young athletes.

- Rays Of Grace 0-2 GS St Paul MUKO
- Gs Ntarama Bugesera 0-4 Alliance Primary School
- Africa With Love 5-0 Coast Primary School
Africa With Love, making their maiden appearance on the FEASSSA stage, proved their mettle as they secured a resounding victory against Kenya’s Coast Primary in a lopsided encounter at the Save Playground. The star of the match, Hakim Kasujja, spearheaded Uganda’s triumph with a stunning performance.
Kasujja broke the deadlock in the 10th minute, igniting the scoreboard in favor of the Ugandan side. He quickly doubled his tally just a minute later, sending Masaka-based Africa With Love into the halftime break with a comfortable lead.
The second half witnessed Kasujja’s relentless pursuit of success, netting his third goal of the day early on. His fourth goal showcased both his prowess and teamwork, as he expertly headed home a well-delivered cross from substitute William Kabanda.
With only a few minutes remaining in the game, Kabanda himself left an indelible mark, sealing the hard-fought triumph with the fifth and final goal.
In contrast, defending champions Rays Of Grace Primary School faced a setback, succumbing to a 2-0 defeat against GS St Paul MUKO. This result placed them in the fourth position on the leaderboard, securing 4 points after their earlier 1-0 victory over Kenya and a goalless draw against Africa With Love in the Ugandan derby.
Having completed two matches, Africa With Love currently occupies the third position on the standings, amassing 4 points. They trail the leading duo of host team GS Muko and Tanzania’s Alliance Primary School.
The captivating action continues tomorrow with two exciting clashes scheduled:
- Alliance Primary School vs Rays Of Grace at 10:00 AM
