Magic Stormers Stun A1 Challenge 54 : 41 To End The First Round of The FUBA Fixtures

Sandra and Meme Sylvia Rukia were in stunning form on Saturday when the two clubs faced off in the last encounter before the FUBA mid-season break.

The resilience that the Magic Stormers camp has shown in the past couple of games may see them through to the play-offs if they continue in the same sparkling form.

It was an emotionally draining game for Malena who was playing her last game before she flies back to her home club, and yet her character and game-handling skills are most definately going to be missed.

The A1 Challenge camp showed a total lack of composure and their more experienced players couldn't carry them when they needed them.

With Bazira Liz and Malena fouled out, Kyomugisha Gloria struggling and Olivia Mulwana benched consistently, the fighting guts and wits of Magic Stormers is becoming a story worth following.

One of the un-sang hero's in the Magic Stormers camp is their coach who has managed to lift up the attitudes of their star players and eventually lift up their game. This is quickly becoming a cinderella story.

As for A1 Challenge, confidence in themselves should be the first wound to treat. With players like Okot Barbra, Fredrikah, Bazira Liz and young stars like Slyvia, a little more self-discovery and team work/ geling would see them rise high.

Their newly big men signings have to raise their games , the likes of Larretah and Doreen .I. have to step up, because when Bazira Liz aint on court, the void is evident.

Taking nothing from Doreens game, she is effective in her offensive point conversion rate but that character and work ethics that Liz brings to the team is an attribute she ought to consider perfecting.

Larretah will slowly need to gain her fitness and Dorcas too following her recovery from sickness.

For now A1 Challenge are placed at sixth on the FUBA table a position which is unfamiliar by their standards. We hope that during the break, they can right their wrongs and prove to us all why they deserve bragging rights in the FUBA ladies category.

Otherwise have a nice break.

Peace
