UGANDA : Marines are a threat to Canons campaign
By Charles Mutebi
THE playoffs-seeking UCU Canons go into the penultimate game of their 2008 MTN-FUBA regular season against the Nkumba Marines with no room for a slip up.
Canons must win this and their final match against Kyambogo Warriors and hope that at least one of their playoff rivals falters before the season ends. That rival is certainly KIU, who has as many league losses (six) as they have.
Another KIU loss would guarantee the Canons playoff qualification if they won their two remaining fixtures. The other three berths will certainly go to the Mogas Falcons, Sadolin Power and Warriors.
The latter take on the Miracle Eagles in tonight’s opening fixture at Lugogo Indoor Stadium.
Miracle is one of only two sides to defeat the Warriors, a feat they accomplished on the league’s opening day. But the Warriors have since risen to the top of men’s division while Eagles have predictably found their way down the mid-table.
The Warriors have had another domineering season and should repay Eagles in the same currency they received in the first round.
