KCB womens volleyball team in search of new blood

The KCB women’s volleyball team are set to recruit at least five new players when their national trials conclude Saturday as they embark on strengthening their squad.

More than 30 players turned up at the Railway Club for the trials when they kicked off on Tuesday envisaging to be enlisted in the squad with KCB Head Coach Vernon Khayinga saying they intend to tighten their grip on the volleyball league.

“The overall performance last season was fair we finished third in the league,  this season we will offer stiff competition to our rivals since most of the young players have matured and ready for the big stage,” Khayinga said.

The Bankers are keen on strengthening attacking and back court defence to challenge for major trophies this season. Height and basic volleyball technique are the only requirements for the new recruits according to the coach.

Team captain Eunice Maiyo who masterminded the 3-0 victory over Pipeline last season says that the bankers will seek to extend their national dominance.

“It’s a great chance for new players to fulfil their dreams at KCB, we will be a force to reckon with this season,” Doreen said.

The five players will join last season’s signings Doreen Marani, Christine Psiwa and Fosca Kasisi.
