A weekend that saw the top guns in the ladies basketball clash again, gave the fans quite a spectacle. Coming from the off-season, with lots of new faces in the squad, Mr. Hamza Nyambogo had a task of balancing the youthful energy and experience to grind out the result he wanted to officially kick start the A1 Challenge season.
However, the Lady Canons had other ideas and a loss was not in their minds. Ms. Akinyi Lorraine saw no signs of missing her colleague Anastacia Njeri gunning a game high 23 points.
With the combination of Ms. Brenda Mbone and Maureen Amoding in prolific form and blistering pace, the A1 Challenge defense had its work cut out. The organization and beautiful leadership of Frances Nabulobi was clearly seen on the court.
Having said that, Barbra Okot was by far the most outstanding player in the A1 jersey working her socks off defensively and closing out the Lady Canons danger man, though she was later substituted in the latter bit of the third quarter.
Not all was blue for the A1 Challenge, because the new signings from KIU Rangers and Crane High with time will sync into the general team game and there's no telling how much trouble they will cause for their opponents.
Also the fact that Liz Bazira is back on court following that nasty broken wrist injury she got in their semi-final win last season, was a good note.
Speaking with her prior to the game she said that its a little stiff but a little more work on it and training, should be good to go.
So Game I , Lady Canons register their first win and its back to the drawing board for the A1 coach Mr. Nyambogo Hamza.
Stay Blessed and stay in touch.
God Bless
