Prison Spears Vs UPDF
At Kyambogo Univ. Grounds
4 pm
The Kyambogo University sports grounds will on Saturday be a no go zone for personalities with faint hearts as the national handball league resumes.
Prison Spears playing for only a draw to clinch the National Handball Championships plays Uganda People’s Defence Forces in a crush battle at 4 pm.
Should UPDF go ahead and secure a win, will only keep their title hopes alive to the last day. In the first round fixture, Spears beat UPDF 33-24.
“Both teams will approach the game with a lot of caution as the result determines each team’s success at the end of the season”, Uganda Handball Federation official, Carl Augustine Mugalu says in a statement.
Its a harder nut to crack for the army side however as they have to beat Prison with a reasonable margin of about 50 goals and pray that Ndejje University also does the same come the last day of the season. Spears currently leads the table with 20 points and a goal difference of 108 while UPDF lies 2nd with 16 points and a goals difference of 53 with both having played 10 games.
In the ladies encounters, Nkumba University Tornadoes and Police Lady Metro take on Ever Green and UPDF respectively. Both teams go in their respective games knowing that faltering will hand Prison Lady Spears the trophy on a silver plate.
Nkumba currently lies 2nd with 12 points and a goal difference of 37 while Police is in 3rd position having played 2 games less than Nkumba and Prison but with 11 points and a goal difference of 58.
