Tornado clinched the Division 2 league title with a commanding win over ACC at Kyambogo. The local derby had two of the oldest sides in the local cricket facing off but with Tornado looking to seal the Division 2 while ACC was fighting for bragging rights.
Tornado won the toss and chose to bat a decision that paid as Cryrus Kakuru (60) and Brian Adriko (32) got off the blocks guns blazing scoring at over six runs. Only the spin of Marvin Kitamirike (3/35) and Aggrey Kintu (2/23) put the brakes on the runs scoring but Tornado were able to post 214/8 in their 40 overs.
ACC got off to the worst possible start in their chase as talisman Daniel Batuwa was sent back to the dressing room in just the second over. Only the tail tried to delay Tornado’s victory but ACC was eventually all out for 168 giving Tornado a 46 run win.
With the game in Entebbe washed out by rain, Tornado earned their promotion back to Division 1 as champions. A deserved feat for Brian Adriko and his young side that surely punched above their weight to gain back promotion after two years.
