During the warm-ups, the players were excited and looking ready. The depth of the A1 Challenge squad was evident as they totally out-numbered the Lady Bucks side who just had one substitute player available after the starting five.
By the end of the end of the 1st quarter the score sheet was 13-0 in favor of A1 Challenge. And by the start of the 2nd quarter, Olivia's patience and firm ball handling as well as awareness gave an edge them an edge of brilliance over their opponents the Bucks whose turn-over rate and lack of sharpness in their conversion rate was worrying.
A1 Challenge kept resting their players as they brought on fresh legs like Bridget and Lillian and Sylvia who played really well defensively giving Liz, Carol and Barbra Okot to rest and freshen up for later. Bridget came and took over defensive responsibilities with a couple of steals to officially release Olivia to play more on the forward role where her sharpness proved lethal.
With Carol playing really well especially in the transitional role and releasing a couple of defense splitting passes, she looked like she was having the game of her life.
The score was 47:7 by the third quarter, and Khisa Mary and Gloria Kyomugisha are put on to emphasize urgency in both offense and defense. By this time the Bucks had nothing to lose. It was just a matter of salvaging some pride by putting a couple of more points on the score sheet.
Gloria, Slyvia, Lizzie interlinking beautifully and stabbing the Lady Bucks defense real hard.
By the end of the final whistle, A1 Challenge well won the Lady Bucks 70:19.
Seeking to finish hard by the end of the first round, they seem to be doing fairly well so far.
Well won ladies.
Bazira Liz amassed 22points to lead the assault against the Lady Bucks.
See you on Friday 8th as KIU Rangers host the A1 Challenge and Falcons host DMark Power.
OneLove
God Bless
