JUDITH Akoth scored a game high 16 points to spur record winners Lady Bucks to a 57-33 win over Amazon Rhino Saturday afternoon in an MTN Basketball League game played at Makerere University pool court. Miriam Birungi gathered 10 points while leading scorer Frances Nabulobi had 9 for Lady Bucks.

On-form KIU Rangers defeated Crane High School 94-47 at the YMCA Courts in Wandegeya. The results imply that Lady Bucks and Rangers will have to wait for their last league games against A-1 Challenge and table leaders KCC Leopards to determine play-off places.

Injured Isaac Afidra (24 pts )
made a surprise return to help KIU defeat Livingstone 77-59 in the top Yellow Max Conference.

In the men's Yellow Go Conference, Vegetarians edged 2001 champions Sky Jammers 59-55 to snatch a place in the play-offs.
