Bukedea Comprehensive School have won the petition they filed against Buddo SS for fielding ineligible player during their round of 32 tie on Wednesday.
Buddo had prevailed to the last 16 after a 1-0 win over Bukedea but the Teso region representatives filed a petition claiming Gava Peter was ineligible to feature in the games due to overage.
Buddo had also petitioned Bukedea for using a player in the names of James Kaye who was also ineligible. The appeals committee however found out that they said player joined Bukedea from Buddo with forged documents.
After succeeding in their petition, Bukedea will on Friday morning face off with Wisdom High in the round of 16 tie.
The winner will battle Kisozi Seed in the quarterfinal contest for a place in the Semifinals.
Meanwhile, holders and 11-time competition winners St. Mary’s Kitende will face fans darlings Blessed Sacrament Kimanya in the Quarterfinal while Jinja SS will lock horns with arch-rivals JIPRA.
Mukono based St Julian will play for a semifinal slot with Masaka SS. The quarterfinal games are to be played on Friday with the semifinals on Saturday.
