The Soroti Cricket Academy 50-Overs Ladies League came alive on Matchday Four at the vibrant Madera Ground, where the rhythmic crack of the bat and the roar of the crowd captured the growing heartbeat of women’s cricket in the region.
Pamba Prevail Over Campswahili in a Gritty Encounter
Campswahili Cricket Club fought with determination but stumbled to 90 all out in 39.4 overs. Pamba’s bowling unit, led by the ever-reliable duo of Martha Amayo and Teddy Anyait, dismantled the batting lineup with two wickets apiece, keeping the pressure relentless from start to finish.
The chase was far from straightforward. Pamba lost early wickets, triggering some nervous moments on the sidelines. But captain Lucky Agwang anchored the innings with a composed 36, steadying the ship. Judith Atim’s unbeaten 21 provided the final touch of assurance as Pamba crossed the finish line in 35.4 overs, sealing a hard-fought four-wicket victory that sent the home supporters into jubilation.
It was a win that reflected not just skill, but spirit the kind that continues to elevate women’s cricket in Soroti.
Senior Quarters Sweep Past Nakatunya with Authority
Over at the City Oval, Senior Quarters Cricket Club extended their unbeaten run in commanding fashion. Their bowlers tore through Nakatunya C.C., dismissing them for just 61 in 22.5 overs. Joyce Mary Arugo and Alio shared the spoils, their sharp spells leaving Nakatunya reeling despite a defiant 21 from Racheal Achan.
Chasing a modest target, Senior Quarters endured an early scare as Immaculate Nandera struck twice to ignite brief hope for Nakatunya. But composure prevailed Malisa Ariokot played with calm assurance, guiding her side home with an unbeaten 14 to secure a six-wicket win in 19.1 overs.
Their victory chants echoed across Soroti a team on a mission, inching ever closer to championship glory.
