Her performance helped Mukono Kings secure a solid total of 182 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in a reduced 15-over match against Namagunga.
Batting at number three, Nansamba’s innings was complemented by contributions from Nakanwagi Aisha (17 off 15) and Kyaterekera Noeline (20 off 17).
However, Namagunga struggled with discipline in the field, conceding a staggering 80 extras—an indicator of their inexperience as they adapt to the competitive scene.
Despite a challenging bowling performance, Captain Kojo Peace showcased resilience, taking two wickets and top-scoring in the chase with 6 runs off 7 balls.
Unfortunately, the new girls found themselves bundled out for just 35 runs, resulting in a heavy defeat by 147 runs.
In their second match, Namagunga faced further difficulties, managing only 47 runs for 9 wickets in 10 overs, with Tumwebaze Mary contributing a mere 10 runs off 8 balls.
St. Cornelius SS Kalagala, on the other hand, excelled in their bowling, with Nalweyiso Winnie and Kwagalakwe Joy each claiming 2 wickets.
St. Cornelius easily chased down the target, winning by 6 wickets.

Looking ahead, Gayaza High School will host matches featuring St. Cornelius SS, Mukono Kings, and St. Mary’s Namagunga.
