During last year’s edition, KCB put up a good fight to record a 3-1 win over Al Ahly of Egypt in the final of the event.

KCB women's volleyball club are confident that they will successfully defend their African title as they sharpen their nails ahead of facing off against rivals at the African Club Championships set to be held on May 12 to 22 in Kelibia, Tunisia.

During last year’s edition, KCB put up a good fight to record a 3-1 win over Al Ahly of Egypt in the final of the event.

Head coach Japheth Munala believes this year is also going to work out in their favour as they look to defend their title.

“We know what we are going to in Tunisia since we have been there before. I believe the pressure will not be that much for us. We are ready for the event and I’m expecting us to win,” he told KTN Sport.

During the national women’s league playoffs held earlier this year, KCB lost to Kenya Pipeline Company in the final.

Munala revealed that since the setback, they went back to the drawing board and have been working extra hard to avoid faltering in the continental event too.

“After that loss, we came together and intensified our preparations. The team is intact,” he said.

On her part, Team Captain Edith Wisa is also upbeat ahead of their title defense campaign. She revealed that the morale of the players is high since they are very well prepared.

She added that they have new recruits fresh from school who will also be competing in the event for the first time.

“Right now, players ae psyched up and ready for the event. We are very much prepared since we have worked on all our weak areas. We know that we are ready.

When are also looking forward to gain more experience that we shall implement when we come back to play in the league,” she said
