The two teams fielded their star players including X-Ugandan player Davis Turinawe who plays for Impara titans and Julius Mbaraga. Turinawe also doubles as the national cricket team coach.

Terugu also fielded star players such as Shiva Samba and Eric Ndangamyambi who were on target as their team won to storm the semi-finals.
