Livingstone Basketball Club continued to flourish in the Division One with a deserved 65-50 victory over Mak Eagles on Sunday at YMCA.
After earning promotion from D-League, Livingstone have managed to overcome each obstacle and lead the Division One table with nine wins from as many games.
Coach Matovu Eric is however not taken away as he remains focussed on the team goals.
“9 wins out of 9 doesn’t matter because we have targets and how we are going to reach them is to cross the finish line having attained our goals,” says coach Matovu in an interview with The-SportsNation.
Their victims include Diamonds in the Sun, Knight Riders, UMU Flames, Bush Court, Kampala University, Kampala Rockets, Entebbe Archers, Old Tymers and Mak Eagles.
Matovu adds: It’s never easy. We are trying to put the team in the best shape possible and be able to compete.
“This division is very competitive and any team can beat the other but we try to stay humble and continue to improve in certain moments.”
Against Mak Eagles, Joshua Namutegere and Okot Bismarck scored 14 points each while Oscar Byomuhangi filled the stat sheet with 11 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists to win the Makerere derby.
Matovu who credited the structures at the club for an impressive show, adds: “We still need to improve in a lot of many things interms of the structures put in place and I believe we will reach Our goal if We continue with the hard work and humility.”
He adds that the “sky can’t be the limit if all the pieces are in the right place.”
“I believe with God on our side and team staying humble then we can achieve more.”
