St. Mary's Kitende rolled off their National Secondary Schools Boys football championship defence with a superb performance to send a warning shot to their competitors.
St. Mary’s Boarding Secondary School Kitende were in their business mood on Tuesday as they rolled off their Uganda Senior Secondary Schools’ National Boys’ championship in style with a 4-0 win over Tororo Town College.
The holders pushed the Eastern Uganda side to the edge from the beginning and could’ve gone ahead as quickly as the second minute, but URA FC’s right back Justine Opiro mistimed his effort.

They were not to be denied five minutes later when Opiro rose high to meet Ronald Madoi’s header.
Madoi plays for Wakiso Giants in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League as well as the Uganda under-20 national team.
