Flames continue new order as Talons deflate
What you need to know:
The well deserved table toppers are now three points clear of second-placed Talons who did not get any PBs in this match and were also docked 60 points for three disqualifications that included a second successive disqualification, in two weeks, in the 12*25m backstroke.
Flames have turned themselves into the team to beat after dominating three back to back match days in the Pursuit Swim League held at British School of Kampala (BSK) Muyenga.
Last Friday, they were again inspired by their captain Paula Nabukeera as they earned 40 scores - as many as Jets - in the 100m freestyle personal best (PB) challenge then topped five of 12 relays to earn 500 scores on the day.
That earned them the five maximum points for topping the day and took their overall points tally after four matches to 16.
The well deserved table toppers are now three points clear of second-placed Talons who did not get any PBs in this match and were also docked 60 points for three disqualifications that included a second successive disqualification, in two weeks, in the 12*25m backstroke.
Jets went from strugglers to finishing second on the day with a 340 score but remain joint bottom with Astros on 10 overall points.
The challenge for Jets is to prove they can turn up consistently every match day.
Speaking consistency, Colts continue to struggle to show any in the pool as they equally had no PBs and finished in the bottom two in half of the relays on the day. But they have the Talons disqualifications to thank for a third-placed finish in match four. That leaves them third on the overall log too with 11 points.
