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.
im wary of lack of match fitness coming from the break and all plus the incorporation of new players to both squads.
