Kwanthanze have retained their East Africa volleyball girl’s crown for the fifth successive time and seventh in total after defeating familiar foes Kesogon 3-2 sets in the final held today in Huye, Rwanda.
It was an epic volleyball final which lacks superlatives to define! But at the whistle Kwanthanze silenced the stubborn Kesogon who snatched the national title from them two weeks ago in Kakamega.
The final has served up a gripping five-setter ending in favour of the Machakos based team with swing sets of 22-25, 25-21, 22-25, 25-18 and 15-13. To say that the finale was mouth watering would be an understatement, but the scoreline does not betray what went on in the court. Knees were scarred, spikes were venomous, the blocks robust and the end game value for time and money.
Immediately after the final point was delivered by the middle blockers, Kwanthanze players broke into dance, hugging and pecking while others just sunk to their knees.
