Kakamega County volleyball teams have qualified for the finals of this year’s Kenya Youth Intercounties Sports Association (KYISA) games. The men’s team sailed through after a convincing 3-0 (27 – 25, 25 – 21, 25 – 19) win over favourites and last year’s finalists Nyandarua to set up a rematch with defending champions Trans Nzoia County who survived a scare from Uasin Gishu in the other semi final contest dubbed great rift derby.
Kakamega and Trans Nzoia faced off at the pool stage where the latter snatched a narrow 3-2 win after 5 sets of play.
