The women's national basketball team coach George Mayienga believes the arrival of Kigali-based Georgia Odhiambo is a big boost to his game-plan as the Lionesses continue training for the FIBA Afro-Basket Zone Five qualifiers in Kigali, Rwanda on July 12-17. Odhiambo's arrival increases the foreign legion in the camp, including Spanish-based Mercy Wanyama and the US-based trio of Victoria Wanjara, Brenda Wasuda and Felmas Koranga. Because of their understanding of the game, their presence is vital to the team's progress," Mayienga said. Meanwhile, the team will hit residential camp at Nyayo Stadium, Nairobi as the D-day approaches. Moris Aluanga, the national team board member, said everything is set after deliberations with the Ministry of Sports.
