The UPDF Tomahawks fell to their third defeat in a row against bottom-placed Our Savior, 60-53, in league action on Wednesday.

The UPDF Tomahawks fell to their third defeat in a row against bottom-placed Our Savior, 60-53, in league action on Wednesday. 

Kenneth Mesho inspired his side to a 13 points, 13 rebound double-double on the night to secure their second win. 

In what wasn't the perfect offensive night, both teams struggled as Our Savior shot 21/54(38%) from the field while UPDF shot 20/66 (30%). 

A close game that was nearly even after each quarter; the third quarter ended 17-12 for Our Savior; that was the difference in the end for both teams.

Ferdinand Odama was the Tomahawks' best player with 11 points and nine rebounds in the losing effort for his side.

Our saviours will be looking to build on this win in their next game when they face the Kampala Rockets in their next match. 

The UPDF Tomahawks face the JKL Dolphins in their subsequent league encounter, looking to get a positive result and get out of their slump.
