Kampala — Four topflight clubs will make a bow in the 2011 National Cricket League as the second week of action takes centre stage today.
Rounders, the pretenders of the previous two seasons, will fancy their chances against Tornado B after they acquired the services of Busoga College Mwiri’s Varinder Singh and former Kampala Institute of Cricket Clubs (KICC) bowler Amos Brian Kyazze.
KICC, themselves, will play their league opener against a depleted Tornado side at Kyambogo oval. Tornado will be without Frank Nsubuga and Benjamin Musoke, who are part of the national team that leaves for Dubai later this afternoon.
There are also three Second Division fixtures on card with Warriors and Challengers looking to pick up their second successive victories as they seek to maintain the momentum. Warriors play Mwiri, who beat Jinja Association of Cricket Clubs (JACC) by 20 runs in their first-ever league appearance last weekend whereas Challengers take on Castle Development.
Challengers obliterated Jinja Indians by 280 runs last weekend and Castle have their work cut out. Another Jinja derby will have JACC entertain Jinja Indians Cricket Club (JICC).
