Angiro, Vincent Odeke and Ian Akampa are some of the players coach-player Isiagi will count on against the five-time champions.
UCU Doves will be looking to return to the National Volleyball League finals when they face KAVC in the semi-final series that start Sunday at the Old Kampala Arena.
Having lost the 2018 finals series to Nemostars, the university side suffered the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and only survived relegation last season.
The departure of head coach Nason Bwesigye left more questions than answers, and the team was in a spot of bother for a while.
But all that changed with the arrival of Elias Isiagi in the top seat and Gideon Angiro’s switch to the Mukono-based outfit.
There have already been some wins for the predominantly young side. The Ndejje Open trophy and the Dr. Aporu Okol are some of the achievements the team has already registered.
And the focus is now on the league.
The only team to defeat regular season table leaders and title favourites Sport-S will now take on KAVC for a place in the finals.
Angiro, Vincent Odeke and Ian Akampa are some of the players coach-player Isiagi will count on against the five-time champions.
It would be unwise to discount KAVC from the title race, though, given the turn of fortunes in the last year.
From failing to make the playoffs a few seasons ago, KAVC went toe-to-toe with Sport-S this season and ended the regular season in second place.
Memory Dube’s charges got a 13-5 record and cannot be taken lightly.
Geoffrey Onapa and Allan Ejiet are the key players expected to run the show for KAVC.
The two have been unplayable in some of the games and add bite to the KAVC offence.
The experience of libero Emmanuel Elanyu and setter Martin Kalema is another tool the 2014 champions could ride on in the contest.
