Dennis Achidri ran the distance blocking all the balls in play to facilitate another routine victory for Joseph Drotti's Boys who are have  the East Africa Club championships in their sights later this year in December, Kenya.

Ivan Asea impressive pitching gave in during the dying moments of the game allowing hits from Daniel Alio, Fred OJaku, Francis Alamo, Alfred Wanda, Joshua Olara, and Isaac Okongo.

An improved Andrew Namwange produced a very good hit in central outfield but this was not enough to break AVRS' unbeaten run.

"This is the right direction for my team. We should continue this way and hope to achieve our goals we spelled out at the start of the season" said Joseph Drotti, coach AVRS.

The defending champions were on a double condemning debutante Jinja outfit  East Cardinals 21-2 in the former other game of the day.
