The defending champions got off to a brilliant start in their retention attempt in Nyeri as the 2024/25 season kicked-off.
Kenya Prisons, the defending champions of the Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) Men’s League, are setting their sights on achieving a long-anticipated hat-trick of consecutive titles.
Despite their decorated history, the Wardens are yet to secure three back-to-back league titles, a record team captain Jairus Kipkosgei believes they are poised to accomplish this season.
With the KVF league in full swing, Kipkosgei remains optimistic that the 2024/25 season will be the one that cements their legacy in Kenya’s volleyball history.
“Our goal for the season is to retain the league title and achieve that elusive hat-trick,” he told KVF.
“We’ve never managed three consecutive wins before, but this could be the season to change that.”
