National and East Africa girls volleyball champions Kwanthanze High School seek to defend the title at this year’s Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) Term Two games that start in Eldoret today.
However, as expected in school games they will be fielding a relatively new side after five of their key players finished Form Four last year and have joined top clubs.
Last year’s national and East Africa Most Valuable Player Sharon Chepchumba and Lauren Chebet joined giants Prisons, Winnie Odhiambo plays for league champions Kenya Pipeline, Jane Mumbua (DCI) and Milkah Kimwele is currently playing for Rwanda’s APR.
Kwanthanze coach Justin Kigwari expressed confidence in his current players saying they are determined to play their hearts out.
“It is a very young squad but I have confidence in their abilities and their desire to excel. They are determined to defend our title and I believe that they will play their hearts out to make it happen,” Kigwari said.
