Today @ 17:30 hrs, the last years finalists tussle it out with the Crane High ladies in a bid to re-align their campaign following the defeat to the Lady Canons a fort night ago.
As the team continues to gel with the new players in the camp, the morale is seemingly high as this looks to be a straight forward win for the 2005 champions.
Having said that, Crane High can some times mean to be quite a stubborn opponent to face coming this early in the season.
Well with the emphasis on passing, cutting and shooting notwithstanding a hard defensive game, we will wait to see how high they rise.
The loss against Lady Canons is inexcusable. With that said, lack of concentration was the major short fall.
So i guess Crane High should beware of a back lash.
Stay In Touch....

Lady Canons Defeat A1 Challenge as the 2011-2012 Season Begins
A weekend that saw the top guns in the ladies basketball clash again, gave the fans quite a spectacle. Coming from the off-season, with lots of new faces in the squad, Mr. Hamza Nyambogo had a task of balancing the youthful energy and experience to grind out the result he wanted to officially kick start the A1 Challenge season.
However, the Lady Canons had other ideas and a loss was not in their minds. Ms. Akinyi Lorraine saw no signs of missing her colleague Anastacia Njeri gunning a game high 23 points.
With the combination of Ms. Brenda Mbone and Maureen Amoding in prolific form and blistering pace, the A1 Challenge defense had its work cut out. The organization and beautiful leadership of Frances Nabulobi was clearly seen on the court.
Having said that, Barbra Okot was by far the most outstanding player in the A1 jersey working her socks off defensively and closing out the Lady Canons danger man, though she was later substituted in the latter bit of the third quarter.
Not all was blue for the A1 Challenge, because the new signings from KIU Rangers and Crane High with time will sync into the general team game and there's no telling how much trouble they will cause for their opponents.
Also the fact that Liz Bazira is back on court following that nasty broken wrist injury she got in their semi-final win last season, was a good note.
Speaking with her prior to the game she said that its a little stiff but a little more work on it and training, should be good to go.
So Game I , Lady Canons register their first win and its back to the drawing board for the A1 coach Mr. Nyambogo Hamza.
Stay Blessed and stay in touch.
God Bless

A1 Challenge faces UCU Lady Canons in a repeat of last season's final
Season Opener Promises Mouth Watering Action
This is clearly a repeat of the FUBA Lady's final last season, which see's both teams come into a new season with a lot of changes to the squads.
Anastacia Njeri of the Lady Canons off to the States on academic duties which no doubt is bound to be a big miss for them.
However, the 2010 MVP Maureen Amoding should be in pole position to lead her team on as they look to start the season on a positive note.
With a new coach and new recruits the Lady Canons look to gel quick as a unit as they seek to retain their title. Having said that, it's going to be a long season but we wait to see how the other contenders like the KCC Leopards, KIU Rangers and Makerere Sparks seek to raise their game higher to bring on the competition element.
A1 Challenge have a few surprises up their sleeves as we shall see in the squad. Lots of departures too but unlike the Lady Canons, Mr. Nyambogo Hamza remained with the team he led to the final last season.
Without the 2009 MVP Hatima Kassim, they have tried to enter the market seeking possible replacements. Whether it yielded much, we'll wait and see.
The absence of Mavita Ali, Namayega Josephine and Viola will be felt.
But the rest of the team is still intact with the likes of Mulwana Olivia, Khisa Mary, Kyomugisha Gloria as the PGs and Lokidi Angella, Barbra Okot, Mugasha Carol, Dorothy and Maggie.
Bazira Lizzie is out of the injury bench having succumb to a broken wrist during the semi-final play-off victory over the KCC Leopards last season.
Whether or not Mr. Nyambogo Hamza seeks to gel new blood in the squad or stick to his long time faithfuls we all wait to see.
Match day I kicks off at 6:00pm in the YMCA court.
On a similar note, the DMark Power team faces the Miracle Eagles who have been quite busy in the off season. They've with them a totally rich squad if i may say. Norman Blick (from Power), Richard Osano Omondi (Falcons) to join Steve Omony plus the already talented assembly of players.
However Ssentongo Brian, left the Eagles squad to join the Ndejje University Angels.
DMark Power vs Miracle Eagles @ 8:00pm via YMCA courts.
See you there.
