When Vision Volleyball Camp set out on a journey that would later see them win 15 titles in 17 finals they appeared to be untouchable.
Actually their first defeat came after 16 straight wins and it was Nkumba who did what others clubs had failed to do.
The Entebbe based side defeated VVC in the finals of the Ndejje Open Championship, but VVC had earlier won the Makerere, Jinja and Joan Cox titles, all those with a record of not dropping a single game.
In fact Nkumba needed five sets to sort out VVC, and it was the first time any team was taking the Namboole based side to five sets, a test they failed.
Seven days later, VVC endured five sets to defeat the same Nkumba side in the finals of the KIU Open.
Actually the same Nkumba defeated VVC is straights in some of the few league defeats the latter encountered.
Among the few was Game One of the finals which Ndejje Elites won before VVC recovered to win the series 3-1.
Looks like Ndejje and Nkumba only pushed VVC to the edge in just one season and handed the mantle to Sport-S.
Sport-S have played in four straight finals, winning the KIU Open where they defeated KAVC after five sets.
And then many argued that it was because VVC were out of the country on International club duty.
The other three have had a VVC side on the other side of the court, first was the Mbarara Open, then the Dr Aporu Okol Memorial International Tournament and the just concluded Nkubma Open.
VVC has also won the Joan Cox and Ndejje open title, defeating Nkumba before KAVC tasted their rage in the finals of the Jinja Open.
The two sides also extended their ‘still young’ rivalry to neighboring Rwanda where they battled for bronze at the 2015 Rwanda Genocide Memorial Tournament, still VVC came out on top 3-1.
Sport-S have proved they can compete, but what will happen if their hard work doesn’t break the ice?
