Momentum continues to build for JKL Lady Dolphins, but the defending champions are keeping their feet on the ground despite a commanding display in their latest outing.
A dominant victory over Pearl Queens at Lugogo stretched JKL’s winning streak to seven games, underlining their growing rhythm in the National Basketball League. Yet within the camp, the message remains clear—there is still work to be done.
Guard Ritah Imanishimwe delivered a standout performance, powering the team with an impressive scoring display while also contributing across the court. Her influence helped JKL seize early control, establishing a commanding first-half lead that effectively decided the contest.
Execution and discipline proved key, with the team efficiently translating tactical instructions into results. Even when the tempo dipped briefly after the break, JKL regrouped and closed out the game with authority.
The victory keeps them firmly in contention near the top of the standings, although they currently sit fourth with an impressive return from eight matches. Meanwhile, Pearl Queens continue to struggle for consistency as the campaign unfolds.
Attention now turns to a midweek clash against KIU Rangers, who are looking to recover from a recent setback against KCCA Leopards. Despite JKL heading into the fixture as favourites, the Rangers will be eager to respond and upset the form book.
Across the league, City Oilers maintained their unbeaten charge in the men’s division, while Rezlife Saints and Sommet BC also registered notable victories.
With another round of fixtures lined up, including JKL’s showdown with KIU, the race for positions continues to intensify as teams push for consistency and momentum.
