Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) women basketball team coach Mike Opel is optimistic of reclaiming Fiba Africa Zone Five Club Championship title in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. KPA, who lost the title to rivals Equity Bank last year, are in Group 'A' which also has JKL Dolphine from Uganda and hosts Jeshi la Kujenga Taifa (JKT). On the other hand, defending champions Equity Bank are in Group 'B' with Let Gazzels from Burundi, APR from Rwanda and Tanzania's Don Bosco. Speaking after the team's final training session at Dar es Salaam indoor courts on Sunday, Opel said he is spoilt for choice ahead of the tournament's tip-off on Monday. "I have a very young, strong and talented squad. It's now my responsibility to ensure that I rotate them well so that they remain fresh throughout the championship," said Opel who will be banking on the experienced Hilda Indasi (167-SG-85), Seline Okumu and Natalie Akinyi (PG).
