Kenya Prisons Women retained the women’s Kenya Volleyball Federation 2021 League title after defeating Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB). The Prisons ladies displayed high standards of volleyball skills to wrap up the four set thriller 3-1 (25-22, 13-25, 25-21 and 25-17). Even though they lost, KCB proved formidable in the opening set with the likes of skipper Mercy Moim and hard-hitting spiker Sharon Kiprono, calling important shots.
Prisons captain, Brackcides Agala (Featured in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics Beach Volleyball) ensured that a steady comeback was taken up after falling short in the second set 13-25. “This was a remarkable win. We improved as the match went on. It was a tough fixture but we’re happy we won,” said Agala, who was part of the Prison team that settled for bronze at the Africa volleyball women Club Championship in Kelibia, Tunisia. In the third-place match, former champions Kenya Pipeline easily dismissed Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) 3-0 (25-12, 25-13 and 25-19) to finish third.
Pipeline, who enjoyed the services of several experienced players including Gaudencia Makokha, was a well oiled side in the duel. In the men’s category, Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) settled for the third slot after defeating Kenya Defence Force (KDF).
