APR have shifted their hopes for the silverware this season to the handball league title and will commence the hunt for glory against Karongi-based Ecole Secondaire Urumuri at Birambo ground on Saturday morning.

"This is one of the six games we are left with on our calendar, which we must win to keep our title hopes alive, every game is very crucial to keep pressure on Police,” APR coach Anaclet Bagirishya told Saturday Sport.

The former champions are seeking to end a four-year league title drought, having lost the previous two to their archrivals Police, while Gicumbi won it in 2013.

The military side is currently in the second position in the league with 28 points, two behind Police while Urumuri are in the eighth position with 15 points.

Elsewhere, third-placed Inyeramihigo, 20 points, host University of Rwanda College of Education, who are in fourth place but level on points.

Sunday, table leaders and defending champions Police will travel to Nyamasheke district to take on sixth-placed Kibogora Polytechnic, who have 17 points.
