Mwiri raced to 111 all out thanks to Adonia Waibale 21 runs and Nicholas Kisarale and David Kateyenge 17. Ivan Kabunga then took 4-29 as Mwiri dismissed their neighbours for 91 – Baker Mugoda with 21 top-scoring for JICC. It is in schools cricket where the name Mwiri remains renowned but the club, whose team has both current and former students of Busoga College Mwiri, could harness more fame.
