And his plan worked out as middle blocker Ronald Muvara secured the set point to win it 25-23.<\/p>\n<p>Police regained their rhythm in the third set and claimed it 25-23, and continued their momentum in the fourth set which they won 25-21 to secure the victory.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a defeat that didn\u2019t go well with coach Ndaki who had prepared his team in all aspects.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand how we missed this game, but considering the CAVB Zone V competition we just returned from, some of our players were fatigued. However, I hope to regroup for the next game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, in the women&#8217;s category, Police WVC defeated newcomers Kepler 3-1 (26-24, 25-23, 20-25, 25-16). It was an intense match, with Kepler&#8217;s left hitter, Binta Fatoumata, working hard to lift her team&#8217;s score, though it wasn&#8217;t enough for them to secure victory.<\/p>\n<p>The playoffs continue this Saturday, March 15, with APR VC facing Kepler VC in the men&#8217;s category, and Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) meeting APR WVC in the women&#8217;s category.\r\n                <style
