Nairobi Water, Ulinzi Shooters face tricky weekend tests

The national women’s handball champions Nairobi Water Queens will take on National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) at the Nyayo National Stadium on Saturday in one of the highlight weekend clashes.

The national men’s champions Ulinzi Shooters have a date with the stubborn Buccaneers in what promises to be an enthralling encounter.

A win for Ulinzi will push champions NCPB, who are without a fixture this weekend, one place down the standings into third.

“This will be a tough match but I fancy my team to overcome the Buccaneers this weekend.” Ulinzi skipper Kevin Imo said.

In the opposite end of the women’s standings, Net navigators will be having a busy schedule as they kickstart their season with a triple-game week facing Ulinzi starlets, Nairobi City Council, and Amazon.
