Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Champions Nairobi Water Queens have recruited four new players ahead of next week’s Kenya Handball Federation (KHF) Super Cup. Jack Ochieng charges, who are also the national and regional title holders, remain the team to beat in the tournament that throws off on May 20 at Nyayo National Stadium.<\/p>\n

While naming the new quartet, the veteran tactician maintained that the team preparations are in high gear and they are good to go. ” I am looking forward to trying new signings who will also participate in the league,” he said.<\/p>\n

The four new faces in his stable are goalkeepers Diana Owour and Christabel Dinga as well as backcourt players Claire Wanyonyi and Beatrice Kayla. He said he has not lined up any friendly matches ahead of the tournament but they are going out to retain the cup.<\/p>\n

The winners of the event in both the men’s and women’s categories will represent the country in the Africa Club championship slated for Tunisia later in the year.<\/p>\n

Water Queens have won the league for the tenth straight year without losing a single game and Ochieng believes his dominant side can have a similar grip in the event.<\/p>\n

But to do this, he is aware they will have to shake off league runners-up Ulinzi Sharks, National Cereals and Produce Board, and Rangers. The four women’s teams in the show will play in a round-robin format while the six men\u2019s teams have been put into two groups of three teams each.<\/p>\n

Pool A will include national champions NCPB, General Service Unit and Black Mamba. In pool B are league runners-up Ulinzi, Strathmore University, and Kenyatta University teams.<\/p>\n
