Ever since female Pool Star, Victoria ‘Vicky’ Namuyanja won the 2012 female Easter Pool Championships (Kaneza won the men’s version), she harbored a great dream of remaining in the top flight limelight of the game.
She went on to clinch the Pool Association of Uganda (PAU) Female Most Valuable Player’s gong for the year, 2012 at a glamorous end of year Pool event party at Club Oasis, Lugogo, where state sports minister, Charles Bakabulindi pledged Government support for the pool game in Uganda.
Since that time, she remained silent on the pool scene due to the maternity time-out but she believed that break has only transformed her game to the best lines ever.
“Most people think that this maternity leave took my form, but I will disapprove them”, swears the former Hot Pool Star, now at Game City Pool Club in the Pilsner women pool league.
To Namuyanja, she believes, that this is the prime state of mind for any lady player to concentrate and play the game. “For now, i will play hard to help my team (game city) win the Pilsner league for 2013 and also get ready for Christmas cup”, she reveals to Kawowo sports in an exclusive interview.
