Aziz Damani registered two wins over the weekend in the T20 League, a 77 run win over Wanderers and the other a walkover against Mwiri.
Mwiri was a no show for both games over the weekend against Strikers on Saturday and Damani on Sunday morning.
The club dominated by Mwiri Old Boys and other players failed to raise at least 9 players for a cricket game which is unfortunate given the history of the school.
The poor organisation forced the head of the team Quaraish Kasujja to confirm that the side had pulled out of the T20 League.
Morning everyone am very sorry to inform UCA that we as MCC (Mwiri Cricket Club) are pulling out of the T20 tournament. Thanks.
The two wins for Damani gave them some momentum going into the weekend where they will have a big game against Tornado B.
Damani captain Brain Masaba says the game was a good work out for his team as they prepare for Tornado B.
Like I’d said earlier, (we are) still looking for the best 11, so the game was a good insight into that (but) more importantly, we’ll take the win.
Kampala Pirates and SKPLS will have to wait for the Games Committee to decide their fate as SKLPS walked off the ground on basis of biased umpiring.
Premier won in the morning against Avengers by 7 wickets in a high scoring game. They however failed to over come Tornado Bee who defeated them by 6 wickets.
KICC barely broke any sweat in the 9 wicket win over Partidar at the Lake side oval in Entebbe. KICC are favorites to make the knock out stages from Group B and they haven’t lost a game yet.
