The two sides squared at 56-all in normal time to force overtime. It is the second time UCU goes into overtime –the first time against City Oilers which they won.

Both teams will return to action on Saturday and Sunday with KIU taking on Sharing Youth and Ndejje respectively while UCU will take on the inform duo of Warriors and JKL Dolphins. In the women’s league, JKL Lady Dolphins registered their second century win of the season after a 121-44 win at YMCA Lady Hamsters. JKL’s Stella Oyella was named player of the match.
