Nemo stars vs Sport S 8pm
For the volleyball enthusiasts, the long wait is finally over as the volleyball league gets underway on Thursday.
Following a turmoil that saw the league end in chaos and unfamiliar circumstances where majority of the teams boycotted games, the dust has finally settled and action is ready to take centre stage once again.
The saga about player Daudi Okello saw the league end prematurely with teams protesting his return to feature for KAVC after he had moved to Inatek in Rwanda.
The teams pulled out of the league and thus there was no champion for 2016 season.
The 2017 league serves off with a mouthwatering clash between two top sides in Nemo stars and Sport S at the Lugogo indoor stadium in the men’s category.
Nemo stars who won the 2015 league will be seeking to begin the season on a bright note to send the signals of seeking to retain the title.
However, they take on a tricky side in Sport S who seem to have Nemo stars numbers. For the two times Nemo stars and Sport S have met this year, each team has won once.
In George Aporu and Louis Mubangizi, Nemo stars have maintained the core of their team while Sport S have also retained the experience in players like Dickens Otim.
In the women’s category, defending champions Ndejje University elites fresh from African club championships kick start the league against Nsambya based side Sport S.
