The Uganda National Volleyball League action returns this weekend from the Christmas and New years break. NCC Champions Sport-S take on Prisons.
National Club Championship champions Sport-S will re-open national volleyball league activities against Prisons Volleyball Club on Saturday, 22nd January 2022. Sport-S went into the break after round one in the top spot on the table Standings above League titles holders Nemo Stars.
Sports-S have recently been crowned champions of NCC after defeating Nemo Stars last weekend so one would say their spirits are high for the up and coming fixture. Not the same can be said for Nemo Stars after that heavy defeat, who also have a match against University side Nkumba University Volleyball Club.
These two NCC finalists share 24 points each in the league table and are arguably bound to end up in the league playoffs. Nemo Stars has not had the best performance as expected from the fans despite their position.
One team to look out for this round is Orange Block Busters OBB. For a club that has consistently moved up from Serie C to B and is now in the top-flight Serie A standing in 3rd position, they are a force to be reckoned with. OBB played league titles holders, Nemo Stars to a 3-1 win in the first round of the National Volleyball League.
OBB has only lost to Sport-S and one would say they stand a huge chance to be 3rd team to make it to the playoffs. Nevertheless, it is way too early to make that conclusion reason being that we have seen clubs like 8th placed Ndejje serve off to a poor start but picked up very well during the course of round one. The return of Key players in round two will mean a tight competition fo both playoffs spot and relegation battle.
On the other hand in the women’s league, University Ndejje Elites have not lost a single match in the National Volleyball League standing in the top spot with VVC behind them in 2nd place with only a point separating the two clubs.
Women’s League title holders KCB-Nkumba Volleyball Club have still not yet picked up the pace with a poor performance from round 1 with 4 losses of their 6 games played. The club has recently gone into partnership with FHNS, Hermes Sports, and also unveiled the 2022 kit.
