THE Josephine Nnamanda and Diana Businge partnership that simply made the numbers early this year, has suddenly transformed into the team to beat on the beach volleyball circuit.

The pair won their second successive beach volleyball trophy –– after the second edition of the national circuit in April –– when they beat seasoned Sheila Buyungo and Sharon Pajije at the Club national championships at Lido, Entebbe on Sunday.

In the final, the pair came from 10 points down to win the first set 21-18. They lost the second 21-13 but recovered to take the decisive 15-7.

The two first paired in 2007 and won the national championships then.

“We are both calm and we know each other’s strengths and weaknesses. We never argue even when losing,” Nnamanda said after the win.
