UGANDA : Troubled Warriors seek perfect revival today
Today at YMCA
Power v Warriors (6pm)
Women:
UCU v A1 (4pm)
(Power and UCU lead series 2-0)
Div. II:
Rhino v Heaters (2pm)
Div. III:
Stormers v UCU JV (12noon)
(Rhino and UCU JV lead series 1-0)
The Malinga brothers, Henry and Eric, are winners of multiple MTN-Fuba League titles during their time at the Mountain Dew Falcons.
Having moved to the Kyambogo Warriors in the off-season, they could be facing arguably the toughest tests of their time against DMark Power in the best-of-seven series final.
Warriors trail 2-0 as the series moves to YMCA court Wandegeya this evening for game three following the closure of Lugogo Indoor Stadium last week due to a rapidly declining surface. And the shut down of Lugogo might be just what Warriors needed whereas Power must have been desperate to avoid losing momentum.
Errors
Eric understands the need for perfection. “Costly errors have cost us the games. We must be able to cut down our margin of error to zero be able to claw back in the series,” he advised. However, the burden could heavily lie on the Malingas and Michael Kariuki. Inconsistency of the big men has greatly defined the trio so far exposing guards Abbdullahi Ramadhan and Ronnie Kasewu.
The difference between them and Power, who are seeking revenge for the humiliating 4-1 loss to Warriors last year, has been the ability to share responsibility.
After making 20 points in a comeback 71-65 victory, shooting guard Joseph Ikong even got bullish. “I think we can sweep Warriors (4-0). All we need is to stick to what we have been doing this season and improve our defence,” Ikong said.
Isaac Afidra is arguably having his best play-offs while his teammates Robert Mubiru, Ben Komakech and skipper Norman Blick have made contributions when needed.
In the early game, UCU Lady Canons – in a position similar to Power’s – can take another gigantic stride towards reclaiming the title with victory over A1 Challenge.
