Kampala Hockey Club Swans will be looking to pick themselves up on Sunday when they come face to face with Weatherhead Gazelles in the National Hockey League.
The side was decimated by reigning league champions Wananchi 11-0 on the opening weekend of the season to register their heaviest defeat in history.
With another title chasing team their next opponent, they must dust themselves down quickly as they look to avoid another humiliating defeat.
They head into game week two placed bottom in the league standings but could climb as high as second with a commanding three points if Deliverance and Rhino who play a day earlier on Saturday share spoils.
Weatherhead Gazelles started the season on a brighter note, beating league debutants Rhino 3-0 in their opening match.
They will be looking at maximum points on Sunday as victory will see them topple Wananchi, the current table leaders, with the latter not in action this weekend.
With Gazelles battling Wananchi next week, defeat to KHC tomorrow will be a heavy blow to the side’s title hopes as they seek for an early advantage over the defending champions. A win though should serve as a morale-boosting victory as they head into that smasher.
