After ending the 2012 Tusker Premier League season on a bad note, former top tier champions Ulinzi Stars will hope to redeem themselves in the African Military Games at the end of the year.
The continental showpiece will be held in Abidjan, Ivory Coast from December 1 to 18. Ulinzi, who suffered a 2-1 defeat to KCB on Saturday at Afraha Stadium to finish sixth on the log, are pooled alongside Gambia and Burkina Faso.
