"I understand we are a new team, but that doesn&039;t mean we can't compete at the highest level. My focus is on building a cohesive and competitive team, while improving the performance of our younger players," he said.

Siborurema, who previously coached at APR and St. Joseph, is an experienced tactician who is expected to play a key role as the team tussles it out with big entities in local basketball.

He called upon his players to be mentally and physically prepared for the league.

"We have been training diligently, and the players’ improvements are evident. Despite being a new team, I am pleased with how well they have bonded,” he said.
