Nsambya-based club, Sport-S outdid former National Volleyball League, NVL champions Nemo Stars to diminish the disappointing defeat from last weekend’s encounter.
A stunning 3-0 (25-16, 25-17, 25-19) win against Nemo Stars was all Sport-S needed to boost their league confidence following a breakdown from last weekend’s combat with the university side, UCU.
UCU was crowned champions of the 10th edition of the Ndejje Open Volleyball Tournament after a 3-1 win against Sport-S. The latter did take this league break defeat lightly as they gathered their charges against Nemo Stars yesterday.
“This win means a lot because we are from a loss against UCU. So, it means that we are coming back strong. from a loss and then you beat Nemo 3-0, that is something good and more confidence.” said head coach Mugisha.
In the last league encounters between Sport-S and Nemo, the latter away the dominant party registering 2 wins against the former 3-1 and 3-1.
A 3-0 win in round 1 should lift the spirits for the Nsambya-based club. With the competition always growing harder towards the end of the regular league, gaining maxing points is key.
Mugisha added, “When we come here, we need maximum points. That is our target.”
Sport-S was monstrous against defending champions, OBB in the league opening match. Young star Micheal Mangon was a surprise for OBB in that 3-0 win. Micheal did not get as much playing time in yesterday’s game and here is what head coach Mugisha had to say.
“League is a long season, so you need to manage the fitness of players. Micheal is a very good player but he is from playing East African games. So you need to control that fatigue. Yes, we need him to play but also control his body so that we can prepare him for better games.”
