The UPDF Tomahawks snapped a four-game losing streak by compounding further agony on the UCU Canons with a 57-53 win on Sunday at the YMCA court.
Both sides embraced the fixture with terrible runs of form, but the Tomahawks started brightly, taking an 11-7 lead at the end of the first quarter.
The first quarter was undoubtedly the Achilles heel for the Canons as the three remaining quarters were separated by three points, including a tie to end the second quarter.

OPINION A case for Claire Lamunu
Claire Lamunu has earned the right to make the team and will make the Gazelles better in the finals.
“It was a well-deserved hard, fought victory, and credit goes to the whole team for sticking together.”
“The key to victory was the fact that we had different scorers, which is something we lacked in different games and doing an excellent defensive job, especially with the rebounds,” he added.
UPDF face undefeated City Oilers next in league action and will hope the champions will have an off day as they will look to grab their second straight victory.
