Great day in office for Kenyan clubs at Africa Volleyball Champs

NAIROBI, Kenya, April 5, 2025 – Kenyan representatives at the ongoing Africa Club Volleyball Championships won their respective matches on Day Two of the continental competition in Abuja, Nigeria on Saturday.

National champions Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) made it two out of two with a straight sets victory over Sococim of Senegal.

Japheth Munala’s charges were on-song, making easy work of the West Africans in sets of 25-20, 25-18 and 25-21.

In their first match of the tournament, the two-time champions had also dispatched Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) La Loi in straight sets (25-15, 25-18, 25-12).

Their next Pool C encounter is against record champions Al Ahly of Egypt on Sunday evening.

Meanwhile, continental bronze medalists Kenya Pipeline also continued their 100 per cent record at the tourney with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Cameroon’s Litto Volleyball Club (LVC) in their second Pool D match.

The oil merchants began strongly, winning 25-20 and 25-18 in the first two sets.

The West Africans, however, made life tough for the Kenyans with a 25-23 win in the third set.

Geoffrey Omondi’s side, nonetheless, wrapped up the game with a 25-21 victory in the ultimate set.
