Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>After recording their fourth consecutive win in the women\u2019s Division One league with a convincing 61-31 victory over Kisii University, Eldonets are now targeting to be the first team from Eldoret to play in Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF) women’s Premier League.<\/p>\n

Eldonets coach James Ndung\u2019u said: \u201cSince the start of the second leg, we have won four back-to-back games and I\u2019m happy with the progress that the girls have made. This is a relatively new team with several young and inexperienced players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking at Kisii University after the emphatic win, Ndung\u2019u added: \u201cAfter this easy win, I hope the girls will not be complacent because we are not yet done. Our target is the play-off for now and if we get there, we shall aim at the premier league.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the game, Eldonets started strongly winning the first quarter 15-4. They then stretched their lead with second quarter win of 16-7. In the third quarter, Kisii came out strongly but lost 8-15 before drawing 15-15 in the last quarter. Kisii will hope to bounce back when they face Coastal Queens next weekend.<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s Division One game, Kisii Raptors needed a last ditch basket to beat Shoot For Life Renegades 77-75 in tension-packed encounter.<\/p>\n

It was Kisii Raptors\u2019 fourth consecutive win since the second leg started.<\/p>\n

Kisii inspired by Derrick Momanyi led in the first quarter 19-9 but Renegades put a spirited fight to win 29-13 in the second quarter. However, Raptors emerged strong in the second half, winning the third quarter 22-26 and the fourth quarter 22-20.<\/p>\n

Renegades coach Emmanuel Omusikho conceded defeat. \u201cThe game was okay. We lost due to lapses. We will no focus on the next game. Despite the loss, we are still in the race for the play-off slot,\u201d added Omusikho.<\/p>\n

His Kisii counterpart Vincent Onsongo said: \u201cI must admit this was one of our toughest games. We capitalised on their mistakes to win this game. Renegades are a very good team but I\u2019m happy we emerged winners.\u201d Kisii Raptors will travel to Mobasa where they will face Baobab FC at KPA Makande on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Onsongo, who doubles up as the team\u2019s captain and coach appealed to well-wishers to supports the team.<\/p>\n
