At least they did stand by their word of keeping on the court for as long as the game lasted as earlier stated by their coach, Nimron Kabohak.

"I cannot say I am very certain of a win but with the training the  team has been having I'm sure we will be on the court for all the four quarters of the game." Kabohak told the New Vision

Both teams had a good start into the first quarter not until KIU  started dancing to its opponent's tune in the third quarter with 44-54 respectively.

By the end of the game, the Lady Dolphins had thumbed KIU 71-68 only leaving them with a sorry consolation of trying their best.

Jamilah Nansinkobi and Salma Akinyi led the Scores for JKL with 17  points while Aurore Irakoze of the Rangera was the most efficient player of the day.

Meanwhile, in the men's games, the KIU Titans shined on the Sharing Youth when they beat them 71-53 in the last round of the game.

Sudi Ulanga (15 points) and Chris Basheke (14) were the best scorers for the Titans while Tony OKello and Stephen Otoa made the highest scores for the Sharing Youth with 14 and 17 points respectively.
