Ochieng hoping for good start as Blades resume league assignments

After more than a month without playing, Strathmore Blades head coach Tony Ochieng is ready for weekend matches when they face Equity Dumas and USIU Tigers in the Kenya Men’s Basketball Premier League.

The students who have been away for close to a month will be paying the bankers on Saturday at the Nyayo Gymnasium from 6:00pm before tackling fellow varsity side USIU on Sunday at the same venue at the same time.

“We have been having some commitments including exams; I will be taking about every game with all the seriousness it deserves as they are very crucial games for us.  The long break has given us ample time to prepare adequately,” Ochieng said.

At the same time, Ochieng has hinted at his strategy for their double header.

“Our primary focus is just to play a well-coordinated game, cover our weak areas, we know our strength, we know our opponents’ weaknesses and we just need to build from that,” Ochieng added.
