Uganda Woodball Federation Awards 2019 have raised tension among top MVP contenders, just a day to the event.

The awards are set for Friday, November 29 at Kati Kati Restaurant in Lugogo with nominees is all categories.

In the Men’s singles open category, Gwaaka Brian and Kedi Thomas’ performance this season has propelled them higher amongst fellow contenders.

Kedi, a Kampala University Wood ball club player became the second runners up in the second edition of Beach Woodball World Cup with 87 strokes. The event this year was won by Lee Cheng Han followed by Wang Qi 81 and 82 strokes respectively.

Han and Qi are both from Chinese Taipei. Kedi went on to win 11th edition of Coral Coatings Woodball Championship and Botladz Woodball Challenge with 117 and 207 strokes respectively beating second placed Gwaaka with an eight strokes margin.

Gwaaka, a Ndejje University corperate woodball club player is already crowned champion of the 2019 Men’s Open Beach Wood ball with 124 points.

Of the two rivals, Kedi is eying a maiden MVP award while Gwaaka targets a second having won the first one in 2017.

In the ladies open category, the defending champion Nanjeru Denise Pulkeria is unmatched due to her incredible performance and she is a likely 2019 MVP after sweeping more than a half of this year’s events on the calendar.

Mukoova Joan, the closest contender has not had equally good year like Nanjeru. Mukoova, the Emanates Wood ball Club player rallies on a win of this year’s eleventh edition of Coral Coating Woodball Championship with 126 strokes .
