THE two sides leading the race for the fourth playoff slot in the MTN-FUBA men’s first division league have the chance to take another step towards the post-season today at YMCA, writes Charles Mutebi.

The Nkumba Marines, who are currently fourth in the standings with 16 points from 10 games, take on KIU in a must-win fixture for them. KIU are all but out of playoff contention so failure to defeat them would be a major disappointment for Timothy Odeke’s men.

Besides it would give the Ndejje Angels - Nkumba’s nearest rivals for fourth place - a chance to draw level on points, provided Walker Obedi’s charges can see off the Knight Riders in the day’s opening fixture.
