Africa-Press – Kenya. Heavy rains that pounded the border town of Malaba in Busia County halted the men’s Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) League encounter between Kenya Prisons and Trailblazers on Thursday.

The postponed game had ended in a 2-2 set tie when rains stopped the match from proceeding to a run-off to decide which team would go home with three crucial points.
Trailblazers’ unbeaten run in five matches nearly came to an end when Kenya Prisons led 25-20 and 25-21 in the first two sets before Trailblazers rallied in the last two sets 21-25 and 24-26 to level the score with hopes of wrapping up the game in a run-off, but rains jolted their hopes.
