All matches this weekend will take place at the same venue, with only men\u2019s teams competing as the women\u2019s sides take a break.<\/p>\n<p>Under the guidance of head coach Yakan Laurence Guma, Gisagara VC heads into the weekend in fine form after registering two consecutive victories against East African University Rwanda (EAUR) in their season opener and Kepler VC in the second round. Next up is a strong Police VC side.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ndayisaba, victory in the upcoming clash will depend on how well-structured the team performs and how effectively they execute the coach\u2019s plan. He believes the result could shape their path toward the championship title.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast season, Police VC came close to winning the championship, finishing with a bronze medal despite having the upper hand at one stage. They currently top the table with six points, and we are in third place. We know how tough this match will be, but we\u2019re focused on winning,\u201d Ndayisaba told Times Sport.<\/p>\n<p>The captain also highlighted the renewed confidence within the squad, driven by the return of key players, including himself and middle blocker Ronald Muvara, who both rejoined Gisagara VC after spells with Rwanda Energy Group (REG) VC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRonald and I returned to the club we played for over four years before moving to REG VC. Of course, financial stability played a part in our decision, but returning feels like an honour, it\u2019s about bringing back the glory we once achieved,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Ndayisaba added that their comeback means more than personal satisfaction; it also brings joy to the local fans in Gisagara, who have long supported them. He believes his partnership with Muvara, alongside other key players, will play a crucial role in restoring the club\u2019s dominance after their 2023 championship triumph.<\/p>\n<p><b>Saturday, November 1 fixtures<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Kirehe VC vs RP-Ngoma \u2013 9:30am.<\/p>\n<p>Kigali VC vs EAUR \u2013 12pm<\/p>\n<p>APR VC vs Kepler VC \u2013 2:30pm<\/p>\n<p>Police VC vs Gisagara VC \u2013 5pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Rwanda<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
