LADY CANONS STRIKE AGAIN BEATING A1 CHALLENGE 52:37


A 15:30 afternoon kick-off in what looked like a wierd weather threatening to shower didn't affect the start of this game.

A1 Challenge attacked intensively and defended compactly surely as a unit being led by Gloria Kyomugisha, looked certain to go-hard till the end. There was a confident feeling from the A1 team and one would without doubt think this is surely going to be one of those great revenge moments.

By the end of the first quarter A1 Challenge was in the lead by a point [08:09]. The second and third quarters saw the Lady Canons step up a notch and a little lack of concentration, loose passing and lack of communication among the team cohesively saw Lady Canons open up an over 20 point difference at some point in the match.

Maureen Amoding and Purity Adhiambo's lethal offense contributed double-figures and that swang alot in their win.

With their centre Bazira Liz being fouled out, things could only get tougher. However, having said that, the fourth quarter saw A1 Challenge tightened up defensively and for one moment only if the team put up some points as a unit, we would be in for one hell of a tense finish.

Strong points for starters is Birungi Miriam's shooting if strongly worked upon plus the other shooters in Barbra, Olivia, Maggie and Carol could be a huge plus for the team.

Also working together as a team, especially when things are not going well, that shows huge deal of maturity because on court all we got is ourselves remember "A team above all. Above all a team"

Lastly defensive discipline as a team will surely see A1 Challenge team, especially seeing that the Lady Canons full-court press strategy was quite a handful considering that players were holding onto the ball alittle more and yet quick inter-passing amongst team mates is the sure way of beating it.

This defeat is the second in the season, but we'll gladly take the lessons we learn't and its surely game on against Nkumba Lady Marines this Sunday at 14:00hours in the Makerere Basketball Court.

The only way to shut up all the doubting Thomases and haters is to WIN and WIN hard. The next game is against the Nkumba Lady Marines, see you then.

HeaRt, mental strength and team-work will see us through ladies.

GO HARD !!!!!!
