The Pool Association of Uganda Grand Open Pool Championship 2023 had history written at Cas Bar and Restaurant, Kansanga.
The three days action championship had stiff competition from both the men’s and women’s categories.
In the male category, Joseph Kasozi stopped in form Ceaser Chadiga in a tight final that ended 9-8.
Kasozi who came from behind surprised Chadiga’s fans after winning from 7-3 to level before Chadiga pulled back one to lead again.
Kasozi went on to win the last two frames to lift the trophy over favourite Chadiga who eased past Ibra Sejjemba 7-1 in the semi-finals.
In the ladies’ category, Rashidah Mutesi continued her dominance, winning the third consecutive Championship.
Rasheeda became the first player to win the Championship for 3 consecutive years after seeing Ritah Nimusima 8-3.
It was sweet revenge for Mutesi defeating Nimusima who bested her in the National Open Pool Championship finals four years ago.
