Preparations for selecting the national Beach Volleyball team for the International event in Mombasa is in high gear as the Club Pilsener Beach Volleyball resume on 14th October 2007 at Lido Beach .
Women’s seed one and partners Andrina Namata and Mercy Tabitha should win to steer clear of any contention, though making the semi-finals would see them through if seed-two Milly Laker takes the day.
Laker, who was to pair with seed-3 Mariam Nakamanya in Mombasa as Uganda ‘s second women’s team, will count on finding a suitable replacement for her partner Rachel Achieng now in the USA .
The two will face the inevitable challenge from the likes of Harriet Ssali, Diana Agaba and Josephine Nammanda who are in hot pursuit.
On the men’s side, seed-one Tony Lakony and Seed-two, Gadaffi Tamale must polish it up with their local partners to get into the finals of the October event or risk dropping off the National squad.
They are closely pursued by 2 nd Mombassa team and local partners Alex Nduhukire and Hannington Nsubuga who too need to be in the finals to retain their squad places.
The new dates for the Mombasa International are yet to be disclosed as Kenya Volleyball Federation is still pondering the most appropriate dates given that the season. The Club Pilsener International is slated for Lido beach on 1 st and 2 nd December 2007.
