ADB were on Saturday crowned champions of the annual Schools cricket tournament after a compelling seven wicket victory over Apade.

After being bowled out for a paltry score of 50, Evode Mutuyimana (15) and Andre Kayitera (17) starred for ADB as the Apade bowlers were put to the sword.

ADB lost three wickets enroute the victory.
On the way to the finals, ADB overwhelmed defending champions Efotec, formerly ETO Kicukiro by 28 runs whereas Apade savoured a dramatic 5 wicket win over Kagarama.

ADB also dominated the individual accolades. Joseph Habimana emerged best batsman with 146 runs, Lycee de Kigali’s Fred Nyaruhima with 12 dismissals took the best bowlers award while Evode Mutuyimana who scored 82 runs and picked 11 wickets took home the much-coveted man of the series trophy.

Else where, Delphine Mukarurangwa’s individual heroics inspired Kagarama to their maiden title in the girls’ category.

Kagarama outclassed reigning champions Ndera by 40 runs.
Fina Bank, Computer Point, Amani holdings and Magasin Faruki bankrolled the three-week tournament.
