A1 CHALLENGE BEAT UP ON STUBBORN NKUMBA LADY MARINES 54:38
This fixture came in as Game two of the second round for the A1 Challenge outfit. And with sheer determination to finish way stronger than they started, a good result is all the A1 Team had in mind.
Following last week's win against the Makerere Sparks [52:25], Team A1 Challenge was seeking to continue in the same rhythm and this they did. Under Coach Jeff Omondi who kept his fingers on the pulse after the Nkumba Lady Marines proved a stubborn opponent to see off, going level [33:33] by the end of third quarter.
He devised an offensive tactic that saw the Vickie-duet score quick vital baskets and slowly create some day light between themselves and the Lady Marines.
With Vickie Ondiso and Vickie Ntale combining offensively with double figures, and the good team set up defensively, the fourth quarter surge by A1 Challenge was the difference in this fixture.
A1 Challenge are so far 2 in 2, since the start of the second round and will look to build on this result.
