Mengo SS secured their place in the final eight by overcoming Kibuli SS with a 2-2 aggregate victory. Despite losing the first leg 1-0, Mengo SS rallied to win the return leg 2-1, advancing due to the away goal rule.
Jinja SS enjoyed a successful derby against Jinja College, winning 5-2 on aggregate. Nabumali High School also impressed, defeating Sebei High Tigers 5-1.
Other notable results from the last 16 include St Charles Lwanga Koboko’s 2-1 win over Mandela SS, Gombe SS’s 2-1 victory against Namilyango College, and Lango College’s 2-1 defeat of St Joseph’s College Layib.
