UGANDA : St. Michael in Power’s path

Today at YMCA
Power v St. Michael (8.30pm)
Ndejje v Berkeley (5.30pm)
Women
Cubs v Crane High (7pm)

Since their opening day victory over Kyambogo Warriors, DMark Power, just like the other post-season regulars, have been less than convincing in the MTN-Fuba League. An unlikely loss to UCU Canons didn’t helped matters but redemption is around the corner as Power face newly-promoted St. Michael High School at YMCA court, Wandegeya tonight.

Not that St. Michael will be a walkover but the 2008 champions have imminent cracks to cover as their stars get back in shape. Isaac Afidra, last season’s regular season MVP, made a cameo appearance in Friday’s 68-63 win over KIU.

Power coach Andrew Baziira missed the KIU game due to disagreements with management and is unlikely to run the show today as will Norman Blick, the captain. “I keep hurting a finger on my left hand whenever someone plays a hard pass and might sit out the next two games. My shot is off for now but I am pleased with the progress of the team,” Blick told Daily Monitor.

Earlier, Ndejje University Angels, fresh from thumping St. Michael, have a chance to do the double over the newly-promoted sides when Berkeley come calling. In the women’s division, Makerere Cubs face Crane High Schools.
