KNBL: Zetech Sparks, UON Terror purring after respective weekend wins

Zetech Sparks head coach Maurice Obilo has applauded his team after their towering performance over the weekend in the Kenya National Women’s Basketball League.

The students defeated newbies in the league Safe Spaces   57-40 at the Nyayo Gymnasium on Sunday to underline their intention to gun for a playoff spot.

"We did our best, doing what we could do, and we have to build from there, heading to our National KUSA games before resuming the league,” Obilo said.

Zetech Sparks are unbeaten in their first eight games with 16 points after winning all while

Safe Spaces have won only two matches, losing eight in their first ten matches, and have 12 points so far.

Elsewhere, University of Nairobi’s Terror head coach Eugene Kalman has pointed out their game plan as a key ingredient in their weekend victory against varsity side ANU Wolfpacks in the men’s premier league match.

“We had a game plan; the boys came with much energy, much enthusiasm, and we hope we can build on this particular win as we move forward,” Kalman said.

At the same time, Kalman has recognized the need to improve his roster ahead of their last game ahead of the second leg of the season.

“We had some lapses on defense, something we shall work on as we wait to play our last game against Strathmore Blades.

“Strathmore is very good in terms of transitions and rebounding, so we are able to improve our defense in half-court sets and also in the transition and see what goes right,” Kalman added.
