KCCA LEOPARDS: 76 A1 CHALLENGE: 60
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The FUBA league got under way this evening and indeed it did not disappoint. A1 Challenge got up to an intense start, with decent shooting from Okot Barbra, Nalubega Maggie and Mulwana Olivia.
If there was anything to take from the loss, it was the decent shooting and resilience from some of their players. Clearly if this is a sign of things to come then we are in for one heck of a decent season.
Kyamazima Dorothy, back to A1 Challenge after a year with the Makerere Sparks and clearly her defensive discipline is still top-notch. With a couple of steals and 5 points to her name, the blend with Barbra Okot and Nakazibwe Sylvia and Aggie clearly cohesiveness is not going to be an issue.
KCCA Leopards with acquisitions like Claire Lamono and Karungi Charlyn, to boost their experienced side, adding to Carol Nantalo, Namayega Josephine, Nakiwu and Flirsh Flavia to mention but a few.
Their strategy was clearly to keep the difference close and come the final quarter they ran riot scoring from fast breaks and all as the A1 Challenge outfit took their feet off the pedal defensively and offensively.
Mulwana Olivia said, "We were clearly so tired in the last quarter clearly, but we will work on ending with the same intensity as the beginning"
With Aggie, Barbra Okot and Ntale Victoria fouled out, there was clearly no coming back from the drop zone.
Without Bazira Liz, Khisa Marie, one can only hope that this will be a year to remember the ladies for the statement that they will leave on and off court.
Kudos to Okot Barbra whose resilience and heart saw her score 16 points and over all she had a good game.
Good shooting combinations from Nalubega Maggie, Olivia Mulwana and Okot Barbra were surely lethal. Keeping the intensity throughout the season is surely going to be key.
Hard luck ladies, next game we make happen.
Nice weekend.
