They advanced to the final after walloping Mkalapa girls from Tanzania in straight sets of (25-15, 25-17, 25-17).
Speaking after the match, Kwanthanze tactician Justin Kigwari revealed that they had to dig deep to make it to the final.
“I thank God so much. For real, it hasn’t been easy. The competition has been stiff. Today the semifinal was hard, but my girls gave it their all.
“The final will be a good game because we know our opponent, they are our sister team. We are happy that the trophy is going back to Kenya,” stated Kigwari.
Kwanthanze are yet to be beaten this year. The Machakos-based learning institution has won all the matches from the national games, all the way to the East African finals.
They will be seeking to defend their East African title and win their third successful trophy.
