UGANDA : Falcons seek to grab early play-off slot today

THEY have collected 27 points from the 14 games played, but from today's fixture against visiting Gulu Hawks is where Falcons need maximum points most.
The Yello Max game at YMCA courts will see the former league champions book an early slot and become the first team to reach this year's play offs in case they win.
Steven Omony, who led the record winners to 12 unbeaten runs when he took over after a faulty defeat to defending champions Marines in the opening game in April, left last week to re-join his Seychelles side PLS Hawks. But stand in coach Andrew Tendo made a winning start with a 73-65 win over faulty KIU last Sunday.
In the Yello Go side, unbeaten Uganda Christian University Mukono host off form Blue Jackets. UCU are vying for a slot in the top-flight league on their debut.
