KAMPALA - After their crucial 3-1 win over fiercest rivals Weatherhead, there is a strong question of whether Wananchi can last the distance in the race for this year's National Men's Hockey League.
Currently, the only unbeaten side, they date an ever-lackluster Rockets Saturday at the National Hockey Stadium, lugogo.
Rockets that are second last on the log remain hopeful of a turnaround in fortunes especially following their first win of the season 5-0 against Historicals last weekend.
Michael Nashimolo has for a long time struggled to lift Rockets in spite of being supremely talented.
Wananchi lead the standings on 19 points after seven games played off their card. They seek to make it seven from seven.
Meanwhile Wananchi in the women's category is in line for yet another title having won so much in the past years. They face second placed Deliverance Church in what should be an interesting encounter.
On Sunday, Kampala renew their title hunt against fourth placed Historicals. Kampala are among the favourites to win the men's league in spite of a slow start to their campaign.
