Kampala International University (KIU) students were in superb form as they humbled Makerere University at their own turf in the ongoing Black Bell organized Beer Olympics.
The Kansanga based students held their nerves or in this case cups of beer with some steady conviction at MUK’s Freedom Square to overcome the home team that was buoyed by an enthusiastic crowd. They concentrated on knocking out cup after cup and also hit all their targets during the shooting game.
Prior to meeting a hard wall in KIU, the Makerere team had made light work of Makerere University Business School (MUBS) in a game of Beer pong.
The table currently has KIU in the lead with 40 points, five ahead of their closest rivals Kyambogo University, with MUK seating in third place, 10 points adrift. MUBS with a measly five points sits in last place, trailing UCU who managed 25 points.
Paul Rwandekeye, the Innovations Manager at Uganda Breweries says that the games aim at bringing together campus students to not only compete but also share ideas as well as make new friends.
“Black Bell is all about giving consumers the chance to play by their own rules and that’s why even the Beer Olympics have no specific rules. The winning team from this competition will get a ballistic party where more interesting activities will be unveiled,” he explained.
