Coach Walker Obedi’s Ndejje also boast of victories over leaders UCU Canons and champions Riham Warriors, who lie third, and pushing City Oilers to the limit have showed what they can do and a win will push them to fourth place but Falcons will miss striking Geoff Omondi refusing to play until his dues are paid for a second successive game will have Uganda’s most expensive basketballer Stephen Omony to look up to for inspiration.

The losing finalists from last year wrote off struggling Charging Rhinos 71-48 on Sunday inspired by the return of point guard Sam Obol with a game high 12 points. Obol helped Falcons to four championships between 2002 and 2007.
