Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Champions Nairobi Water Queens return to action on Sunday when they play Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) in a Kenya Handball Federation (KHF) league match at Nyayo National Stadium.<\/p>\n

This will be the league leaders’ first game since they lifted the East and Central Africa Club Championships in Zanzibar in December.<\/p>\n

Nairobi Water coach Jack Ochieng’s charges remain unbeaten having bagged a maximum of 28 points from 14 matches. They remain favourites to win both the game and the league title.<\/p>\n

Equally, Ochieng remains unperturbed about the Sharks’ century of goals in two matches over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraining has been alright. We will go into the game with full force as I have no injuries at all. I want to go into the match with the aim of testing and solidifying our tactics especially as we approach the second leg,\u201d Said Ochieng.<\/p>\n

Third-placed National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) who have 22 points from 13 matches will leapfrog Rangers (23) to the third spot with a win over lowly New Hope who have only managed two wins.<\/p>\n

The millers are joint third with the rampant Ulinzi Sharks who posted a 60-12 win over Rising Star and 55-12 over Daystar University in their two matches last week.<\/p>\n

Determined Nairobi City County meet JKUAT in the opener while in another match, winless Daystar University will revive their rivalry with Kenyatta University.<\/p>\n

The men\u2019s matches on the card will see fifth-placed Strathmore University tackle number six Kenyatta University in what on paper looks like the main game on the card. Both teams have 20 points.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boys understand what is at stake and must give a good account of themselves and approach the match with the seriousness it deserved,\u201d said the students’ coach adding, \u201cIt\u2019s important that we win both matches.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inspired play Spartan who are one position from the base as Boomerang confront Desert Scorpions in another match.<\/p>\n

The following day, Strathmore University return to play the Technical University of Kenya (TUK) and Scorpions meet Spartans.<\/p>\n

Boomerang confront bottom side Young City who have two points from one win while the ladies’ fixtures will see Daystar University tackle Rising Star.<\/p>\n
