Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>After faltering in their opening match against Zambia in the Africa Cup on Sunday, Kenya face Malawi today in their second Group B match in Pretoria, South Africa.<\/p>\n

Kenya hope to redeem themselves after succumbing to a 46-30 loss in the opener, with the tournament acting as a qualifier for next year’s Netball World Cup.<\/p>\n

South Africa are already guaranteed a slot in the global competition as the competition’s hosts and will be joined by the top two teams from the tournament.<\/p>\n

The 12-member playing unit will also face Eswatini in their last match. Winning their remaining two matches will enable the Kenyan queens to move to the next round as the Joseph Makau-coached team habours hope of sailing deep in the competition.<\/p>\n

The tactician is banking on thorough training and confidence of his players to write history. The competition is played on a round-robin format with the nine teams split into two pools based on the most recent results from the Africa Cup 2021 final placings.<\/p>\n

Seasoned shooter Bridgit Nanzala and ever-green defender Florence Ndombi will be keen to restore back the lost glory. The 20-year-old midfield centre Vida Atieno, shooter Lydia Nyapere and midcourt Irene Anyango will be eager to make a mark despite their lack of experience.<\/p>\n

The National Olympic Committee provided support to the Netball Federation as the national women\u2019s team also known as Divas departed on Friday. Five officials accompanied the team for the nine-day tournament.<\/p>\n
