APR The army side head coach Charles Mbazumutima told Times Sport that, "we are ready to beat REG in Game One on Wednesday. We have trained well and I hope the players will be able to stick to our game plan against the defending champions."

Mbazumutima admits that it will be a tough set of games "but anything can happen, so we just need to make sure that we are ready for the challenge ahead."

APR women basketball has made key trades of new players in Akon Rose Paul Macuei from South Sudan and American Cooper Shayla Jonique as they look to bring REG’s two-year dominance to an end.

In the men's category, it is still REG and APR that reached the finals.

The two sides have already played two games of their best of seven series and will be playing Game 3 after sister clubs’ Game 1.

APR have an upper hand on the championship as they lead the finals series 2-0.
