The clash was a repeat of the Odilo Final played two weeks ago at the FUFA Technical centre won by Rays of Grace but this time round; Oasis got the better of their opponents and avenged the 1-0 defeat suffered in the final in Njeru.
Rays of Grace will feel hard done by the absence of their four key players Leonard Kasanya, Talemwa Erisa, Mukisa Dan and Mulema Vicent who are with the Uganda National U-15 Squad in Eritrea for the CECAFA U15 tournament. The youngsters have won all their opening two games so far.
The two primary schools teams (Rays of Grace and Oasis Annex) in Arusha were funded by FUFA to represent Uganda in the competition of the Primary Schools category.
