Poor Kenya crash out of tourney

The Kenya men volleyball team crashed out of the African Nation Volleyball championship after losing by three straight sets to giants Tunisia at the Cairo Stadium Indoor Halls Complex.

Kenya lost 25-16, 25-19, 25-22, to jeopardize their chances of qualifying from the group.

Tunisia tops the group with 5 points, followed by Ghana on 4, Libya with 3, and Kenya at rock bottom with no point.

With two losses on the trot, the Moses Epoloto coached side will now aim at winning their last group B match against a strong Libya to save face
