Olila Cricket Club carried the day against Tornado Bee winning both games without breaking a sweat. Youngster Jimia Mohammed scored 57 runs on the day 31 in the 1st and 26 in the second game.

The wins get Olila Cricket Club very close to the top and for Tornado Bee the wait for that 1st win continues.

The second game was a nail-bitter Soroti Challengers toiling so hard in the field for them to defend their 82 runs. Kevin Awino (47 not out) continued her good form with the bat, her Victoria Pearls compatriot took over matters with the ball Janet Mbabazi (5/12) ensuring that Soroti Challengers pick up their second win of the day.
Back to back wins for Soroti Challengers which keeps them in the title hunt while Pioneer fall back in the race to finish among the top 3.
