What you need to know:

  • KCB coach Japheth Munala said the two setters have a unique way of playing, something he believes will make all the difference at this year's championship set for May 10 to 23 in Tunisia
  • Mutinda, who crossed over from national champions Kenya Pipeline this season, was bullish ahead of this year's tournament
  • In the absence of Chepchumba, Munala will rely on Sharleen Maywa and fast rising Pauline Chemtai at opposite

KCB Women’s Volleyball Team are now moulding a team around setters Esther Mutinda and Emmaculate Nekesa.

This is after the bankers lost opposite Sharon Chepchumba to Greek club Aris Thessaloniki last year. Chepchumba was instrumental for KCB in the 2022 African Clubs Championship where they defied all odds to reclaim the title they last won in 2006.
