For the third time in a row, it will be green and orange ribbons on the National Men’s Division One 50-Over League trophy after Tornado B earned more than the required point in their washed-out derby against sister side Tornado at Kyambogo Oval on Sunday. 
In securing the feat, Tornado B became the third different club in local history to complete a hat-trick. “We’ve scored a hat-trick and this is history,” a jubilant Tornado B skipper Jeremy Kibuukamusoke told Daily Monitor.

To add to their 2013 and 2014 gongs, two points from the Sunday game moved them to 56 points to pip Nile (54) with a game to spare. “It feels great,” exhilarated wicket-keeper Nicholas Kebba said. “It was a long and hard fought campaign,” he said. 
Kibuukamusoke added: “We worked more as a unit. We knew we would have individual performers but we had to do it together.” Knowing they needed only a point from two matches ahead of Sunday, Tornado B players cut relaxed poses throughout. Star player Roger Mukasa made 14 fours and three maximums in an 85-ball 118 ton - his fourth of the season.

Before joining teammates for a barbecue and a few drinks at lunch, Mukasa had shared a 130-run combo with Davis Karashani (66 off 64) for Tornado B to set 281/8. Tornado managed only 18-2 before the skies opened for good after 7.2 overs. Tornado B will hold a party after their last match against Challengers tentatively this Sunday but also plan a five-day trip with selected fans to Nakuru, Kenya next month.
