On match-day four last weekend, the Soroti Cricket Academy 50 Overs Ladies League burst into life at the Madera Ground, where the cheers of fans and the thud of leather on willow painted a vivid picture of passion and promise.
Campswahili C.C. fought valiantly but faltered to 90 all out in 39.4 overs.
Pamba C.C.’s bowlers—Martha Amayo and Teddy Anyait—were relentless, striking twice each to keep the pressure high.
When Pamba came to chase, early wickets stirred nerves in the dugout, but captain Lucky Agwang’s steady 36 brought calm to the storm.
Judith Atim’s patient 21 not out sealed victory in the 35.4th over, handing Pamba a four-wicket win and sending the Madera crowd into jubilant celebration—a testament to the growing heartbeat of women’s cricket in Soroti.
Meanwhile, at the City Oval, Nakatunya C.C. faced Senior Quarters C.C. in a match that mirrored both struggle and resilience. Nakatunya faltered early, undone by sharp bowling from Joyce Mary Arugo and Alio, collapsing for 61 in just 22.5 overs.
Racheal Achan’s 21 was the lone bright spark in a dim inning. Yet, Senior Quarters too had their nervous moments—Immaculate Nandera’s two early wickets offering Nakatunya a flicker of hope.
But Malisa Ariokot, ever composed, guided Senior Quarters home with an unbeaten 14, sealing a six-wicket triumph in 19.1 overs.
Their cheers echoed across Soroti—another proud step in a journey redefining women’s cricket.
Now, Day Five beckons—a double-header at Madera Oval on Sunday 2nd November 2025, as Campswahili take on both Pamba and Nakatunya in back-to-back battles
With two rounds left, the standings tell a thrilling tale: Senior Quarters C.C. lead with 6 points and a commanding +0.6964 net run rate.
Campswahili and Pamba, both on 4 points, chase desperately, while Nakatunya, on 2, cling to mathematical hope.
If Senior Quarters win and Campswahili lose, the champions will be crowned after Matchday Five.
