Ndejje, Sport-S meet in top of the table clash

The two are tied on 26 points after ten games, but Sport-S have a better sets ratio to be top of the log.

Malic Damulira’s side has won 28 sets and lost seven, while Ndejje have won 27 and lost eight.

“It will be a decider considering how the table standings look,” Damulira told Pulse Sports ahead of Saturday’s clash.

Sport-S have been dominant and had lost a set when the 3-0 loss to KCCA in the final game of the first round.

But if any team can be expected to pause a tough challenge for Sport-S, it is the defending champions.

Receiver-attacker Catherine Ainembabazi is a handful for any net defence and will ask questions.

And in Christine Alupo and Belindah Jepkirui, the Elites have veterans made for big occasions like this.

“It is a tight race, and whoever wins will be topping the table,” Ndejje head coach Ronald Kitosi told Pulse Sports.

Sport-S made light work of the defending champions in the first round and will be out to complete a double.

Setter Doreen Akiteng and centre blockers Saidat Nnungi and Agnes Akanyo are critical assets for the National Club Championship winners.
