The weekend of the Tooro Masaza Cup served up another gripping encounter on Sunday 26th July 2026, Bunyangabu and Mwenge South battled to a 0-0 stalemate at the Butiiti Playgrounds in Bunyangabu. In a contest that was as tight as it was thrilling, both sides displayed resolute defending and creative attacking intent, but neither could find the decisive breakthrough.

Odong Santos of Bunyangabu and Sande Andrew from Mwenge South were named joint Men of the Match, each walking away with UGX 200,000 courtesy of main sponsors MTN for their standout performances.

Netball Semifinals Confirmed for Friday 31st July 2026

In a major development for the tournament, the netball semifinals have been officially scheduled for Friday 31st July 2026 at the Ntara Christian Primary School Playgrounds. The mouth-watering line-up will see Mwenge South take on Burahya in one semifinal, while Kitagwenda face off against Fort Portal in the other. With a place in the final at stake, both matches promise to be fiercely contested encounters that fans will not want to miss.

Netball fans are in for a treat as the semifinals of the Tooro MTN Masaza Tournament take centre stage at the Ntara Christian Primary School Playgrounds. The confirmed fixtures are:

• Mwenge South vs Burahya

• Kitagwenda vs Fort Portal

These high-stakes clashes promise fireworks as teams battle for a place in the final, and supporters are expected to turn out in large numbers to cheer their favourites.

On the same day, football action will also resume at 3:00 PM when Kitagwenda locks horns with Kibale in a crucial Group B fixture—a match that could shape the semifinal picture in that group.

The Group Standings

After Matchday Four, Group A remains incredibly tight and unpredictable. Bunyangabu currently lead the standings, but only by the narrowest of margins—they have gathered two points from two drawn matches, having previously shared points with Kyaka as well. While they sit at the top, their qualification hopes are far from secure. In fact, they now find themselves in a precarious position: with no wins to their name.

Mwenge South, meanwhile, are level on points with Kyaka, each having played one match and earned a single draw. For Mwenge South, the point gained against Bunyangabu keeps their semifinal dreams very much alive. Their next match against Kyaka is now a must-win—a victory there would give them a strong chance of progressing to the last four.

Kyaka, with a game in hand over Bunyangabu, are still very much in control of their own fate. A win in their upcoming fixture could see them leapfrog the group leaders and take command of the qualification race.

In essence, Group A is a three-horse race where every remaining goal and point will matter. No team has stamped their authority yet, and the final matchday promises high drama.

Over in Group C, the picture is far clearer. Fort Portal have made a powerful statement of intent, sitting proudly at the top after just one match. They demolished Mwenge North with a convincing 3-0 victory, and that emphatic result gives them not only three points but also a massive goal-difference advantage that could prove crucial in the event of a tie on points.

For Mwenge North, that heavy defeat leaves them rooted to the bottom of the table with a goal difference of minus three—a mountain to climb if they are to recover and challenge for a semifinal spot.

Kibale and Ntoroko are yet to play their opening matches in their groups, meaning they are still unknown quantities in their groups. Both teams will be eager to make immediate impacts when they finally take to the pitch, and their results could shake up the standings significantly.

However, with Fort Portal already looking formidable, the chasing pack—Kibale, Ntoroko, and Mwenge North—will need to produce something special to deny the group leaders a place in the semifinals.
