The FEASSSA 15s rugby tournament has reached its semi-final stage, with matches set to kick off in Mbale this Friday to determine who will advance to the final.

Butula Boys have been disqualified from the competition for fielding two ineligible players in their squad.

Despite their impressive form in the group stage, which included a 31-21 victory over Makerere College and dominant wins over King’s College Budo (60-00) and Kitondo School (42-03), Butula High will not proceed further.

Their strong performances had earned them a spot in the semi-finals, where they were slated to face defending champions St. Mary’s College Kisubi (SMACK).

With Butula’s elimination, Kitondo has finished top of their pool and will face SMACK in the semi-finals.
