KDF women’s volleyball team dominates Nairobi Prisons in KVF National League

The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) women’s volleyball team staged a strong comeback, reclaiming their winning form with a dominant 3-0 (25-23, 25-17, 25-13) victory over Nairobi Prisons in the fourth leg of the Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) Women’s National League.

The match, played on Sunday at the Nyayo National Stadium outdoor court, saw KDF assert their dominance throughout the sets.

KDF entered the game with confidence, having secured three consecutive wins against Young Spykers, Kenya Army, and Nairobi Prisons. Their only setback in the tournament came against former champions Kenya Prisons on Thursday. However, they quickly bounced back, demonstrating resilience and tactical superiority.

KDF coach and former Kenyan international middle blocker Jackline Baraza expressed her delight with the team's performance.

"In the upcoming matches, I’ll be preparing for DCI, whom we face next in the league. The secret to our success is that I have been studying our opponents, analyzing their weaknesses, and working on ways to exploit them," she said.

On the other hand, Prisons coach Francis Kagiri acknowledged the tough competition and reflected on his team’s performance and prospects.

"Our reception was poor today because our coordination was off. However, we are a strong team, and with two matches remaining, we are confident about making the playoffs. I am sure we will secure six points, which will position us well in the playoff brackets," Kagiri stated.

With this victory, KDF strengthens its position in the league standings and looks to maintain its momentum in the upcoming matches.

The league will take a break as the volleyball Kenya Cup heats up next weekend.
