JAVON LADY PHENOMS HAND A1 CHALLENGE A SHOCK LOSS TO THE START OF ROUND TWO IN THE NBL



JAVON LADY PHENOMS:32
A1 CHALLENGE BC: 30

With match day venue changed to UCU courts in Mukono, lots of teams and games
both in the top flight and the lower division were going to be affected.
With YMCA having a one weeks bazaar and Lugogo MTN Arena having other
engagements going on, FUBA had to relocate all NBL games.


A1 Challenge BC had previously had a long day with two of their players both having
their weddings the day before the game; Ms Hatima Kassim and Ms. Stella Nikuze, meant
most of the team was not so well rested. However, that was no reason not to honor the
fixture, and ball.


With games beginning later than they had been scheduled to begin, A1 Challenge BC stepped
on court at 6pm. The game was marred with one of the worst referee calls and controversies.
With at some point both coaches getting technical's, travel calls ignored, and an imbalance
in the way the referee made his decisions.


Down to the game proper, A1 Challenge's offense really struggled so badly all through the game,
and when their scorer on the day, Ms Nanfuka Stella got fouled out and Ntale Vickie injured
after an awkward fall, that was it for the team.


The constant fouling by the A1 Challenge BC kept their opponents on the free throw line, and they had
a better shooting percentage on the line.


By the time of the final whistle, Javon Lady Phenoms were all smiles having gotten their first ever
win over A1 Challenge with a dismal score of 32:30. For A1 Challenge it's back to the drawing table,
as they strategize for the rest of second round and the post season.


Next game is Nkumba Lady Marines on SUN at 1PM.
