KBF: Storms eye fifth spot ahead of Kisumu trip

Storms women’s basketball team head coach Abel Nson believes his side will win both their remaining fixtures against Kisumu Lady Bucks for a top five league finish.

Storms are currently placed eighth on the standings with 21 points and winning both matches will see them climb three places into fifth.

That would set them up for a quarter-final playoff clash against UON Dynamites.

“I believe we are going to win the game. We need both victories to get our preferred playoffs position,” Nson said

Nson, whose side have an away trip to Kisumu this weekend, says they won’t repeat the mistakes they made last weekend when they lost 26-45 to Eagle Wings.

“We played badly last weekend but we don’t expect ourselves to play badly again. We are prepared well for the matches,” Nson added.

On his part, Lady Bucks head coach Michael Dave admits finishing top eight will be a big mountain to climb but not giving up yet.

“Our prospects of finishing top eight are not good but we are looking up as we are working extremely hard. Last weekend was a disaster top us as we lost both games in Nairobi but we are going to improve on our performance,” Dave said.

Lady Bucks are rock bottom with 12 points after winning just one of their 11 matches.
