Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The finals of the postponed Paul Bitok international volleyball tournament in the men’s category will be played on June 22 at the Nyayo Stadium. The first semifinal match will pit Kenya Prisons against Trailblazers.<\/p>\n

The warders are currently second in the Kenya Volleyball Federation league standings after garnering 36 points. They are two points off leaders and defending champions the General Service Unit.<\/p>\n

Trailblazers, on the other hand, are fifth in the 16-team league and likely to miss a playoff slot. The tie will serve off at 9 am. Kenya Ports Authority have a date with Kenya Defence Forces. The match is expected to have fireworks because of the quality on display from both sides.<\/p>\n

The finals will be played later in the day. The tournament, which had reached the semifinal stage, was halted in April following the demise of the KVF president, the late Waithaka Kioni on April 9. The matches were set to resume on May 5-6 at Moi Stadium, Kasarani Indoor Arena but the venue is booked, according to Bitok.<\/p>\n
