KCCA Netball Club edged sister club Makindye Weyonje 41-37 in a closely contested affair in the Netball Super League at TLC Kamokya. The first quarter ended 11 goals apiece and the teams who went into half-time break tied 22-22. The third quarter started with turnovers at both ends but both sides struggled to convert until after almost three minutes when Weyonje opened the scoring. KCCA had a two-goal lead at 25-23 which they managed to extend to four goals, thanks to Nambirige and Malisera Akello’s partnership which won balls for them to end the third quarter at 32-29. Towards the middle of the third quarter, Weyonje’s sharpshooter Asinah Kabendela was substituted off injured which was a big blow ito Weyonje’s shooting, as Lilian Achola was moved from center position to goal attacker and this literally cost them a match. In the last quarter, KCCA stood its ground and capitalized on Weyonje’s blunders committed in the final third to open a six-goal advantage at 36-30 which Weyonje managed to reduce by only two goals as the match ended 41-37 in favor of KCCA. KCCA moves to second position with 10 points and a health goal advantage with three games in hand, while Weyonje slips to 4th with 10 points from eight games.
