After attending the organizers meeting in Kampala Uganda, Inter cities executive officer, Agina Wesonga said that all preparations are through and the stage is already set for the championships.

“The officials in Kampala are working round the clock for these championships,” he said.

Both Kenyan teams will look to defend their titles they won in last year’s edition that was staged in Nairobi.

The Nairobi males’ team beat Juba 68-60 in tightly contested match while Nairobi combined were no match for their lady Nairobi counterparts who thrashed them 50-40.
