Angelika SS Girls' Team Edges Akalo Comp SS: A Step Away from Knockout Qualification

In a thrilling display, the Angelika Secondary School girls' football team has made waves in the ongoing USSSA Lango Zone tournament. On Wednesday, April 9, 2025, the Lira District champions secured a narrow 1-0 victory over the Kole District representatives, Akalo Comprehensive Secondary School, keeping their hopes alive for knockout qualification.

The match, held at Lira P.7 playground, showcased the remarkable talent of the Angelika SS squad, who have been on a winning streak since the tournament began. A day before, they had already demonstrated their prowess by defeating Ikwera Girls 2-0, followed by another impressive win against St. John Bosco, which ended 1-0. 

With these three victories, Angelika SS now sits second in the Group D standings, tied with table leaders Acaba SS on 9 points. However, the teams differ significantly in goal difference, with Angelika boasting a +4 compared to Acaba's commanding +16. The stakes are high as the two teams prepare to face off on match day 4, scheduled for Thursday, April 10, 2025, at the Adyel P.7 playground, kicking off at 8 AM.

The anticipation for this clash is palpable, as both teams vie for supremacy in the group. A win for Angelika SS in this match would not only bolster their confidence but also secure their place in the knockout stages of the USSSA Lango Zone 2025.

Following the high-stakes encounter with Acaba SS, Angelika SS will face St. Katherine Girls SS later that same day at the Ambalal Primary School Playground at 4 PM. With the knockout stages looming, every match is crucial, and the girls are determined to leave it all on the field.
