Big transfer in Kenyan
volleyball
Four KCB players move
to prisons team
Nairobi,
Kenya, June 24, 2008- Africa women’s volleyball
champions Kenya Prisons have poached four players from
rival club Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB).
The players, who ditched the bankers are Salome Wanjala,
Florence Bosire, Loice Tarus and Esther Mwombe.
Prisons coach, David Lung’aho, said: 'Prisons in their
efforts to create a formidable team have acquired four
players from KCB.'
'We have some of the best players in the continent, but
recruitment must be a continuous process for the team to
grow stronger and stronger,' he said.
But KCB coach Paul Bitok said they were not bitter about
the departure of the players.
'It is unfortunate that they are leaving our team but we
shall do our best to remain at the top of things,' Bitok
said in Nairobi on Monday.
“Personally I shall never stand on the way of anyone out
to seek greener pastures,' he said.
All the players were in the KCB team that won the East
African Clubs Championship in Nairobi and finished third
in the African Clubs Championship in Egypt last month.
Prisons provide the bulk of players to the national
team, including Praxides Agala, Jane Wacu, Mercy Moim
and Judy Tarus.
The move to sign the players who are potential national
team materials is likely to see a concentration of stars
at one base and weak opponents in the league that
features four teams.
