Soroti City’s return to the field comes with a spirit of renewal, excitement, and the joy of reconnecting.
Tomorrow, 15 November 2025, they meet KC Budo Cricket Club at the Entebbe Cricket Oval for a relaxed 25-over encounter starting at midday.
There may be no league points on the line, but the day carries a special kind of meaning: Soroti City has been away from recent UG20 League action, while Budo has been active and sharpening their skills.
For Soroti, this match is less about competition and more about rediscovery—an opportunity to reunite with the game, enjoy good company, and share the field with friends and familiar rivals.
It’s a social cricket outing with just enough competitive spark to make the reunion memorable.
History between these two sides is textured, shaped by close battles and decisive moments.
Their last encounter in the 50-over second-division competition unfolded like a gritty sporting narrative.
Soroti City, shaken by early wickets, steadied through the resolve of Derrick Bakunzi, whose 56 from 42 balls shifted momentum, and Gideon Outeke, who added a patient 36 and later delivered disciplined figures of 6-0-24-2 with the ball.
KC Budo mounted resistance through the tireless spells of Allan Ssemakula, who claimed four wickets for 33, but Soroti’s total of 191 proved sturdy.
In response, Budo’s chase faltered under strategic pressure.
Jackson Asiku’s 34 offered hope, yet the relentless spells of Ogwang Wilfred, Juma Sururu, and Steven Okiror chipped away at their progress until the pursuit collapsed at 154.
Soroti claimed victory by 37 runs, a win defined not by dominance but by resolve.
Their more recent meetings in last year’s second-division Group A painted a similar picture of Soroti’s edge.
They secured an eight-wicket win in the first match and held on by six runs in the second, completing a confidence-building double over Budo.
This time, however, the squads suggest a more relaxed, social outing—an opportunity for both clubs to reconnect, test combinations, and enjoy cricket without the weight of league pressure.
