Anxiety will be high in the opening 10000m race where national stars Francis Yiga, Joseph Nsubuga and Job Sikoria will be in for UPDF.
“We have always been finishing second but this time we are looking at the top. We have had a good build up and I believe we shall do it,†vowed Uganda Prisons sports officer Nalis Bigingo, who is also the coach.
Prisons, who will be basking in home support, will be led by rising middle distance athletes Jackson Kiprop and Augustine Hatabarimana who have been in intensive preparations for the showdown.
