There was relief at Kyambogo Oval after holders Tornado B and title-hungry Kampala Institute of Cricket Clubs (KICC) returned to winning ways in the National Men’s Division One 50-Over League on Sunday. 
Tornado B defeated youthful side Charity Trust Fund by eight wickets at Kyambogo while the KICC scripted a five-wicket triumph over 2012 winners Tornado at Lugogo. 
For Tornado B, they silenced doubters that thought they were in free-fall mode having lost two of their last five encounters. “We bowled in the right channels and told our batsmen to stand up be counted,” said captain Jeremy Kibuukamusoke. Their last outing was a four-wicket defeat to KICC last month. 
In Lugogo, Irfan Afridi (3/31) and Emmanuel Isaneez (3/21) limited Tornado, dependent on skipper Arthur Ziraba (33 off 51) and Frank Nsubuga (30 off 22) to 146 in 34.3 overs. Then Isaneez (34*), Abdallah Lubega (35 off 58) and John Tumusiime’s (30) put KICC over the line.

In Division Two, Rodney Mugisha’s Mwiri obliterated Patidar Samaj and then two-time topflight champions Africa Cricket Club piled 292 before dismissing student-packed JACC for a paltry 76 at the Jinja SS Oval.
