| Olympic Are Winners! |
Olympic High School were forced to wait for the fulltime whistle and lay their success in winning the 2012 Sisterhood World Cup on pure luck. The winners who boasted of the best midfielders and strikers to boot were kept on the edge by a determined and super-fluid Sports for Life outfit who countered every Olympic High School's every effort at goal.
Tense Final
The match, though tense at first opened up on the 9th minute when Elizabeth Majuma fired first salvo on target which was punched by the best goalkeeper of the tournament, Susan Auma. The result of this threat was a gruelsome and highly emotional second half which led to penalties where the Olympic A stars did shine after a 2-0 win.
