Falcons Basketball Club has started preparations for the 2014 season with an immediate management decision that has seen city lawyer, Roberts Friday Kagoro take over the ruins of the club as chairman.
“We take this opportunity to announce Mr. Roberts Friday Kagoro as the new club chairman.”, Henry Ssemanda, the club patron and operations manager remarked at a special unveiling event of the club’s preparations and strategies ahead of the virgin year, held at Arirang Hotel in Kampala.
Kagoro, an associate partner at Muwema and Mugerwa Advocates and Solicitors takes over the club top management role after Dennis Mbidde threw in the towel late last year.
“I humbly accept my new role as chairman of Falcons basketball club. I will ensure i handle the club in a more professional way than the past regime starting with its structures, luring sponsorship, recruiting great players and building a formidable and accountable marketing team”, Kagoro remarked his brief acceptance speech.
At the same function, which was attended by some of the club’s players, the patron, Ssemanda, used the opportunity to warn clubs and personalities who have ‘spread’ rumours about the transfer of Falcon’s players – Dullah and Jeff Omondi.
“We shall seek legal action against such people. As far as the club is concerned, we still consider the Dullah and Jeff as our players”, he said, this time with a different vocal tone.
The club is set to spend quite a fortune in player investment and motivation. “We shall buy new players, that is obvious”, Stephen Omwony, a coach cum player alongside head tactician (Sam Obol) remarked.
