The JT Lady Jaguars returned to winning ways after defeating the KCCA Leopards 47-28 in a game that was not worth watching.
This was a very abysmal performance from both teams and the game was unwatchable. The fact these two finished second and third in the regular season last year, we expected so much more. This was not an under delivery but a no delivery.
We expected a spectacle but we got below ordinary. This was worse than a 9 am Division One game at Nakasero.
Anyway, coming into this game, the JT Lady Jaguars had lost their previous game against the JKL Lady Dolphins and needed to bounce back. On the other hand, the KCCA Leopards were yet to lose a game and wanted to maintain their perfect start to the season.
After the first quarter, the JT Lady Jaguars led the game 11-5. Many fans thoughts that the second quarter would be better but it was no different. Lady Jaguars took it 13-6 and the game was 24-11 at the halftime break.
The third quarter was even worse. There was a combined total of 17 points from both teams and by the end of that quarter, many people had lost interest. It was unthinkable that these were among the top 4 teams in the league.
