Basketball in Africa

KAMPALA- For the fifth year in a row as evidenced during the opening night of this year’s Friday night light Ugandan fans showed they enjoy their sport when accompanied with musical entertainment.

Whether other sports federations can follow suit is a story for another day but for five years, going by last Friday’s attendance, the castle Lite sponsored tournament is bound to continue rocking.

Another capacity crowd is thus anticipated for the second round of games this evening.

Team Amoding, one of two teams playing their first games this season get action underway against Team Legends that lost 53-43 to Team Blick on the opening round.

Team Lamunnu who made a triumphant debut, winning 70-40 over Team Koma play Team Malinga the other team that didn’t feature on the opening night.

Team Koma without injured captain Ben Komakech will look to Paul Odong for reprieve against Team Duxx while Team Enabu and Team Blick both winners over Team Sudi and Team Legends meet in the final game.
