Russel geared up to recover the first phase deficit in the second-leg while they were three points behind Sheikh Jamal who finished the first-leg with 23 points.   
Russel, who actually put across their optimism in the pre-league press conference to regain the tile they lost to Sheikh Jamal last season, could mange the second position.
