In a weekend of low scores, Nile and Tornado made very light work of Partidar and Wanderers respectively.
At the lakeside oval in Entebbe, Nile completed a 9 wicket win over fellow relegation rivals Partidar with U15 team national team player Juma Miyagi picking up the Man of Match Award for his bowling figures of 6/16.
In Buddo, Tornado confirmed their stay in Division 2 after defeating long time rivals Wanderers by 7 wickets. The Kenyan duo of Peter Kituku (38) and Dominic Wesonga (3/38) made the difference for Tornado in the game.
The win means Tornado can’t be relegated to Division 3 even if Jinja SS defeat ACC in their final game.
Despite winning, Nile and Partidar will both play in Division 2 next year.
