For now, September 6 will go down as the most memorable night in the history of the Nile Special Pool Open finals.
The battle for the Black Jacket, Shs2m cash prize and a Toyota Brevis car went down to the wire at Lugogo.
Right from the opener to the final, they were all unpredictable contests. And the day’s perfect vindication came when tournament seed one Fahad Ssewankambo ‘stole thunder’, rallying to defeat dumb Ivan Kanyesigye 7-6 in the best-of-13 final.
Ssewankambo leveled at 5-5 for the first time before clinching the dramatic decider.
