The men’s National Basketball League regular season concludes for many teams this week.
Betway Power were however among the first teams to conclude their games and the manner in which they navigated what appeared to be a tricky end to the campaign pleased
coach Boniface Okello.
“Hanging in there and bouncing back from the losses and the bans we suffered was really impressive,” Okello summed up the team’s end to the regular season.
This was after domestic basketball governing body Fuba initially handed front court pair of Phillip Ameny and Geoffrey Soro pair, 25 and 10-game suspensions following a fracas in the game against Warriors.
This led to the duo missing the team’s last five games despite the suspensions later being reduced to 21 and 30 and days respectively.
After suffering an 84-74 defeat to the Oilers, Power responded with four straight victories defeating Falcons, Ndejje and KIU Titans before wrapping up the season with a 90-51 rout of Sharing Saints.
“It has been a tough regular season but we need to improve on our performances. There are a lot of gaps,” stated Okello whose team haboured hopes of finishing the regular season as top seeds.
“We did not achieve all our major targets which among other things was finishing top,” added Okello of the team that has been beaten finalists in three of the six seasons City Oilers have claimed the league title.
They will consequently finish as fifth seeds with a 15-7 record that will see them play JKL Dolphins in the playoff quarterfinals.
Over the weekend, City Oilers extended their unbeaten sequence to 14 National Basketball League games following Sunday’s 81-63 win over KCCA.

With one game left to conclude the regular season, the reigning league champions will now finish as second seeds behind UCU Canons who concluded with a 19-3 sequence.
The Oilers who stand at 18-3 play JKL Dolphins in their final game tomorrow with their record superior to that of Warriors (17-4).
The Oilers had Tony Drileba and Landry Ndikumana score a joint game-high 18 points while Jimmy Enabu added 12
Warriors play KIU Titans in the final men’s regular season game on Friday and while they can still match the Oilers their inferior head to head record will leave them as third seeds.
JKL on the other hand will now play Betway Power who with a 15-7 record will finish as fifth seeds while KIU Titans, Ndejje University and most probably KCCA make up the eight teams in the playoffs.
