Victoria She Crocs and Pearl Queens are set to face off in the FUBA Division One Finale.

Game One of the 7-game series will be on Saturday 15th at Hamz Stadium while game two will be on at Sunday at the same venue.

Victoria She Crocs advanced to the finals after defeating Makerere Sparks 3-1 in the semi-finals.

On the other hand, Pearl Queens swept Kampala University 3-0 to book their spot in the finals.

Both these teams were formed this year and were undoubtedly the favorites to make it to the NBL after the problems of the YMCA Lady Hamstars.
