AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Former national women\u2019s league champions KCB warmed up for today\u2019s highly anticipated match against Kenya Pipeline with a straight sets victory over Kenya Defence Forces as champions Kenya Prisons beat Nairobi Water 3-0 at Nyayo Indoor Arena yesterday.<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t a walk in the park for the fancied bankers as they were pushed to the limit by the determined soldiers.<\/p>\n

The star-studded KCB claimed the first and second sets by an identical 25-20 scoreline before wrapping up the game with a 25-16 win in the third set.<\/p>\n

Though Japheth Munala\u2019s side didn\u2019t expect to face such tough opposition from KDF, it was a good bounce back from their 3-1 (26-24, 28-26, 21-25, 25-16) defeat to Kenya Prisons in the first leg, last month.<\/p>\n

While KCB struggled against the soldiers, Pipeline had a rest day after their opponents Kenya Army failed to show up for the second consecutive leg.<\/p>\n

And according to Kenya Volleyball Federation Organising Secretary Ismael Chege, Kenya Army has officially withdrawn from this season\u2019s league due to reasons they shared with the federation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is official that the Kenya Army will not participate in this year\u2019s national league. They have cited various reasons in the letter to my office,\u201d Chege told Standard Sports.<\/p>\n

The official further revealed that the federation has shelved all the second leg matches involving Western Prisons men\u2019s team after their players were involved in an accident on Friday evening<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
