Group A | Group B | Final

Group A

NB: all matches in Juba;
    originally to be played as one group of six but split into two groups of three,
    presumably because of time constraints

Group A-A
[Oct 12]
Merikh FC (Juba)          6-0 Nile City FC (Yambio)     
[Oct 14?]
Merikh FC (Juba)          2-0 Al-Gadesia FC (Renk)     
[Oct 17]
Nile City FC (Yambio)      -  Al-Gadesia FC (Renk)      

Table (missing result Oct 17):

 1.Merikh FC (Juba)           2   2  0  0   8- 0   6  Group A Final
 2.Al-Gadesia FC (Renk)       1   0  0  1   0- 2   0
 3.Nile City FC (Yambio)      1   0  0  1   0- 6   0

NB: apparently another match was played after the round robin; it is unclear
    whether this served to determine the group winners (which given the known
    results above would not appear to make sense) or as a training match for
    the host ahead of the Group A Final:
[Oct 19]
Merikh FC (Juba)          3-0 Al-Gadesia FC (Renk)     

Group A-B
[Oct 11]
Koryom FC (Bor)           0-1 Lizira Super Star FC (Yei)

 3.Koryom FC (Bor)            2   0  0  2   1- 6   0

NB: as goal difference did not serve as a tie-breaker, a playoff was necessary

NB: Young Stars FC (Torit) won group A-B
