A1 Challenge Register Win Against Nkumba Lady Marines. 58:54

A1 Challenge came against a determined university outfit in Nkumba Lady Marines who tried and pushed till the last moments of the game.

But the opposition always ensured they had their heads up a notch. With a particularly resilient offensive show from Vickie Ondiso just returning from Kenya. Vickie had 16 points to her name with a great deal of assist from Ms. Hatima Kassim with 14 points and Nantongo Agnes with 10 points, a great deal of their scoring came in the 2nd half of the game.

The team was without a great deal of their players in Babra Okot, Gloria Kyomugisha, Maureen Amoding, Betty Namukasa, Olivia Mulwana to mention but a few. Ms.Mpulungi Sumin was handed her debut for A1 Challenge and she will be hoping to quickly settle into the team. Ntale Vickie joined the party late in the 3rd quarter and provided fresh legs to further seal off the A1 Challenge win.

Nanjala Diane of the Lady Marines and Apolot Esther tried to upstage A1 Challenge with their 11 points and 20 points respectively, but cohesively they did not have support from the rest of the cast.

Despite Ms. Apolot Esther's game high 20 points, she still ended up on the losing side.

A1 Challenge will be hoping the rest of the players got a well deserved rest, as they face off with the Gladiators early on Sunday morning, 10:00am.
