DEFENDING men champions Nkumba University Marines return to MTN Basketball League action today against Miracle.

The Entebbe based side was given a cruel welcome from the regional club championships with a 82-66 defeat at the hands of Kampala International University last weekend and will be aiming for a win to make amends. The fine form of Carlo Bisereko, Paul Mwaka and Boniface Okello should help them win again.
However, Miracle veteran player Chris Kyabambe has warned that his side is rejuvenated and unafraid of anyone.

"The Miracle Eagles squad of younger players is ready to challenge for the league title this 2006 season and we can't look back. Any opponent should stand warned," he said.
