KCB target volleyball league t*tle to go into playoffs next month
KCB Women’s Volleyball Team is sharpening its teeth ahead of the 2023 Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) League playoffs scheduled for October 2 and 4 at the Kasarani Indoor Arena.
The 2022 African Club Champions have been training at the event’s venue and are expecting to bag the trophy that has eluded them for the last 15 years.
The team finished second in the league phase behind Kenya Pipeline after garnering 24 points to cement their position ahead of the much-awaited encounter.
KCB’s action will serve off on Monday, October 2, 2023, as they tackle Kenya Prisons before locking horns with detectives DCI on Tuesday and wrap up the season with a pulsating encounter against their nemesis Kenya Pipeline on Wednesday afternoon.
Commenting ahead of the playoffs, KCB Head Coach Japheth Munala said: “We are ready to face our opponents next week. We started training here on Monday and I cannot wait to see the girls go out there on the big stage to clinch this trophy after such a long wait. We look forward to an interesting result that we shall all be proud of.”
The gaffer, who guided KCB to the continental glory in 2022 is expected to name his squad later today before the team reports for its camp at the Kasarani Sports View Hotel tomorrow morning.
Kwanzanze High School star Marlene Terry who recently joined the Munala-led charges is likely to make her debut for her new team.
KCB lost 3-1 to Kenya Pipeline in last season’s playoffs to miss out on the title and are upbeat this year, they will triumph to position themselves as the local, and continental volleyball giants.
