KENYA : Fireworks expected as KBF league throws off tomorrow
By ERICK OCHIENG’
Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF) national Classic League 2010 season throws off this weekend in Nairobi with two matches to be played tomorrow afternoon at Nyayo National Stadium.
Opening the courts will be International Christian Centre and Mombasa-based Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) in the men’s Premier League contest that is expected to be tough and thrilling. National champions, KCB, would then take to the courts against East Africa champions Co-operative Bank in the second match.
But more action is on Sunday with five matches. However, only one women’s Premier League match will be played this weekend. Kenya College of Accountancy University (KCA-U) women will take on United States International University-Africa on Sunday.
Strathmore University will be out to settle scores with Lomboritz, while visiting KPA will take on Terror in the second match. KCA-U men take no Posta in another mouth-watering duel in the men’s Premier League match.
But the final fixtures released by KBF seem to have shortcomings as teams from the learning institutions have complained. Some will not play their matches since the fixtures clash with their closing seasons. KBF has been urged to schedule the matches or review the fixtures to coincide with the institutions’ term dates.
Meanwhile, basketball chiefs have said the 2010 league will be very competitive owing to the fact that the Government has pledged to support teams that qualify for regional events.
