Sports Facilities: Packwach residents take on re-greening of St Mary’s Bar Omach play ground
The St Mary’s Bar Omach play ground is situated in Kakawoi B village, Puvungu Central ward, Packwach Town Council in Packwach District.
It is one of the numerous sports facilities in Uganda that have given priority to have a green surface once again, taking full advantage of the continued lockdown because of the Coronavirus Disease (COVDI-19).
Youths in Kakawoi B village are at the forefront of this grueling exercise intended to ensure green on this playing surface at Mary’s Bar Omach, the playground that hosts Packwach Young Stars, playing the West Nile regional tournament.
Packwach Young Stars team manager, Isaac “P’Ochaki” Opio, as quoted by Dribbler Sports hinted upon the overwhelming willingness of the youth to plant the grass.
Right now the youths have willingly come and accepted to plant grasses in the stony areas of the ground, erect perimeter fence to stop by passers from moving within the pitch and cutting down thorns.

Muzamil Okura Packwach Young Stars Media Officer remained very happy for the youth of Kakawoi B village who have come with the idea as he calls for more support.
The re-greening process was result of a joint effort from all the willing youth. I am very happy for them and I call upon more support from Packwach Town Council leaders.

The move by the people in Packwach to regreen their playing facility comes at a time when the football mother body in the country, Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) is also agitating for all green facilities to ensure the smooth flow of the game, as one of the requirements for the club licensing process.

The St Mary’s Bar Omach playground joins the bandwagon of other sports facilities in the country that are being given a face lift with re-greened surface, internal and external perimeter fencing, dressing rooms improvement as well as other aspects of the fields.
