Defending champions Vipers advanced in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League standings after securing a 2-1 victory against Maroons at St. Mary’s Stadium in Kitende on Saturday.
An attempt by Yunus Sentamu ricocheted off defender Derrick Basoga, and Usama Arafat scored his first goal for Vipers, which was enough to secure the win, despite Raymond Walugembe netting one for Maroons in the second half.
This win propelled the Venoms up five spots to seventh place in the standings, earning them a total of nine points from three matches, while the Maroons remained in the third-to-last position with five points accumulated over six games.
The match marked the beginning of a demanding stretch for Vipers, who will compete in three matches over the course of seven days to catch up on games missed due to their participation in the CAF Champions League.
They will need to improve their finishing, as other teams like Express and Villa are expected to pose a tougher challenge compared to the Prisons Warders, especially during the initial phases of the game.
Vipers gained an advantage just a minute into the match when Sentamu collected a pass from Enoch Luyima, manoeuvred past a defender, and his shot took a significant deflection off Basoga.
Arafat extended the lead to 2-0 at the eight-minute mark, as he was given room to make his way through the Maroons' midfield and struck a low shot past goalkeeper Simon Tamale.
Tamale managed to keep the scoreline respectable, making key saves against attempts from Sentamu and Allan Okello, who began the match on the bench after his duty with the Cranes, while Karim Watambala failed to connect properly during a promising team play.
In the second half, both teams squandered additional chances to score, but the Maroons found a glimmer of hope when Mukundane redirected Walugembe’s shot into the net in the 58th minute.
However, this moment of hope was short-lived, as Vipers managed to secure the victory.
The win pushed the Venoms up five positions to seventh place in the standings, marking a total of nine points out of three matches, whereas the Maroons remained in the third-to-last spot with five points from six matches.
ARE YOU READY: JINJA GEARS UP FOR BATBALL X SEASON 2 ACTION START
The BATBALL Program Season 2 kicks off with the Jinja T10 from Nov 27-30. Four U-22 teams will compete in a fast-paced tournament, broadcast globally, to develop Uganda's next cricket stars.
The much-anticipated second season of the BATBALL Program is set to kick off, featuring the BATBALL X Jinja T10 from November 27 to 30, 2025, at the Jinja SSS Cricket Oval.
This tournament, co-hosted by Batball Uganda Limited and the Jinja Association of Cricket Clubs (JACC), marks an exciting new chapter in the initiative.
Four vibrant U-22 teams will compete in the fast-paced T10 format, aligning with Batball's objective to prepare Uganda's youth for high-stakes cricket that is broadcast internationally.
Building on the success of the inaugural season in 2023, where the Central Rhinos triumphed over Rwanda’s Emerging Team, players are eager to carry forward the momentum that led to the advancement of sixteen young athletes to the BATBALL MAXX, an international franchise tournament that will be streamed globally in early 2025.
Aakarshit Madaan, CEO of BATBALL Uganda, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming season, acknowledging the steadfast support from Cricket Uganda.
He emphasised that allowing U-22 players allows university students, A-team hopefuls, and emerging talents to gain essential visibility.
"By collaborating with Cricket Uganda, we are establishing a more robust connection between youth and senior cricket."
He remarked, underscoring the readiness for international competition.
This year’s lineup introduces an invigorated group consisting of the Leopards, Bulls, Elephants, and Rhinos, all prepared for an intense double round-robin contest.
Each team will compete against one another twice before advancing to the semi-finals, a third-place match, and the championship showdown.
Over the course of four thrilling days, 16 matches will be broadcast live across the globe.
With teams composed of 14 players supported by dedicated coaches and managers, the tournament is heavily influenced by standout participants from the 2025 Boys Schools Cricket Week, along with Cricket Uganda’s extensive development framework.
Development Manager Davis Turinawe lauded the U-22 initiative as a vital move toward connecting school-level cricket with higher competitive tiers.
After the Jinja tournament, the season will proceed with the BATBALL MAXX Qualifier and conclude with the signature BATBALL MAXX tournament, promising even more excitement to come.
BLACK PIRATES WIN CONVINCINGLY OVER IMPIS SIDE FINISH
The Black Pirates dominated Impis 68-20 to advance to the Uganda Cup semifinals. The commanding victory at King's Park secures them a home fixture against KOBs in the next round.
The quarterfinal match of the Uganda Cup featuring the Black Pirates and Impis was always expected to favour the home side, though few anticipated the final score would soar to 68 points in favour of the Pirates.
The Impis had previously demonstrated their resilience against stronger teams, putting forth a commendable fight against the Heathens and outperforming the Victoria Sharks at the Graveyard during the group stage. Conversely, the Pirates have consistently proven themselves to be in a league of their own, a fact underscored by their commanding display at King’s Park on Saturday.
Once the Sea Robbers reached 20 points, the Impis managed to respond with a couple of penalties from Darren Aine, but these efforts only slightly unsettled the Pirates. William Nkore then added another penalty, extending the score to 23-06, and shortly after, the forwards made their presence felt with a try from hooker Nathan Bwambale, successfully converted by Isaac Massangazira.
At that moment, the scoreboard began to reflect a decisive advantage, with even a try from Pius Mpoza failing to offer any solace to the Impis. Lacking defensive strength and committing numerous penalties—many stemming from offside infractions—left the Impis struggling for the majority of the match.
The scrums also highlighted the disparity in experience, as the university's forward pack found themselves overpowered by the Pirates' formidable trio of Bwambale, Ivan Kabagambe, and the second-row players Frank Kidega and Eliphaz Emong.
With this victory, the Pirates have secured home advantage for their semifinal clash against KOBs, having achieved a superior points difference against the Impis compared to what KOBs attained against Rhinos in that day's other quarterfinal.
