Olila Cricket Club Ladies Team are living in their own world both on and off the oval this season.
From a bad start when they lost their double-header to sister club – Soroti City on Matchday One, there has been a change in the omens for the Soroti Cricket Academy (SCA) franchise.
Smooth sailing
They have gone on a rampant unbeaten run in the league stretching to eight matches including a famous double over perennial winners Aziz Damani in-front of a fair crowd at Lugogo Oval on Martyrs Day –June 3.
Those victories flung the league door wide open and turned the campaign into a three-horse race. Off the oval, many people have been noticing the club’s solid performances with not only the club’s players getting calls to the national team – Victoria Pearls but with the other stakeholders chipping in to their cause.
The latest to join Olila is Sseko Uganda - a local fashion brand known for its high quality leather bags and textiles - who have donated branded travel bags to the women’s team for use on their subsequent travels for away fixtures in Jinja, Entebbe and Kampala. The offer is in recognition of the team’s outstanding performances in the national competitions and girls’ schools cricket competitions over the last nine years. “We are honored to be associated with Olila,” said Sseko Designs Chief Executive Officer Agnes Kitumba Nitunze.
Sign of appreciation
The branded travel bags are made from high-quality materials and feature the Olila Cricket Club Ladies Team logo, as well as the Sseko Designs logo. They are spacious enough to accommodate all the team's travel essentials, including cricket gear, clothing, and personal items.
“Their dedication to the sport and outstanding performances have been an inspiration to us all. We hope that these travel bags will make their travels more comfortable and convenient, give them an edge and that they will continue to excel in their future competitions.”
SCA chairman Felix Musana said; “Your generosity is greatly appreciated and will definitely go a long way in motivating our players to continue pushing themselves to be the best they can be.”
“These sports bags will be very useful to us as we travel for our matches and tournaments. We appreciate the recognition of our efforts and we promise to continue representing our club and country with pride,” concluded club captain Esther Iloku.
