UGANDA: Inter Cities hoops climax this evening

THE East and Central Africa Inter Cities basketball championship ends this evening at Lugogo Indoor Stadium with a closing ceremony expected to be presided over by Kampala mayor Hajji Nassar Ssebagala.

The men's final will feature the semi-final victors between defending champions Nairobi and Mwanza and hosts Kampala and visiting Dar es Salaam. The semis were still being played by press time yesterday.

The weeklong basketball bonanza featured six ladies sides including Uganda's Jinja and hosts Kampala, who played a round robin.

The men's category had seven teams who were divided in two pools A and B where Kampala A side and Mwanza qualified from pool A while Nairobi and Dar es Salaam lead pool B.
Uganda's other side Jinja was kicked out of the tournament for failure to clear participation fees.

Nairobi and Dar es Salaam are the respective men and women defending champions .
