This is the biggest event on our calendar. It brings together Old Boys across the generations, their families and friends who come out in big numbers to play, reminisce, fellowship, eat , drink and compete in a friendly manner. This cements the reputation of Namilyango College as a Sports powerhouse and true to mantra “In Namilyango we share”.
For 14 years now, the Old Boys have spared time, amidst their demanding work schedules to reminisce about the old memories at the college and engage in sports.
Rugby, the College’s traditional sport has always obviously been on the menu of games. Other disciplines of competition include; athletics, basketball, soccer, chess and table tennis among others.
Besides burning the excess fatty acids in the bodies, the gala is also worthwhile moment and platform for the Old Boys to network, exchange key contacts and discuss developmental ideas altogether.
