Eldonets continued with its good form to win the second match against Emyba in the Kenya Basketball Division One play at the Uasin Gishu High school grounds today.
With both teams already qualified for the Kenya Basketball Premier League next season, will move the next three matches in Nairobi as they seek the winner in their Division.
After winning day one match in 98-89, Eldonets won today’s match with a single basket at 86-85.
The visitors won the opening quarter at 24-20 before home-side won the second quarter in 21-16 before opening a good margin in third at 26-21 but lost the grip as they lost 24-19 in the last quarter.
Emyba head coach Brian Busu said they have identified mistakes especially in the turn over that they have to work on to ensure they win in their last three matches that they will host at Nyayo stadium next weekend.
“We played well. We had many turnovers that cost us and we want to work on closing in and out to ensure we make it to the top at home,” said Busu.
Led by their former player Maurice Ouma, Eldonets will be the first team from North Rift to make it to the premier league.
Ouma said they need support now that they are playing in the top notch basketball in the country.
“We are expecting a win in Nyayo but our financial status are wanting. We are planning for a sweep as we did in the last matches,” said Ouma.
