KVF champions GSU play KFS in penultimate league action

Coach Gideon Tarus is available to guide his charges against an enterprising Kenya Forest Service (KFS) that came close to subjecting the side to their first loss earlier on. 

The Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) men's league match pitting the champions General Service Unit (GSU) and KFS was abandoned in the fifth set after being rained off. 

Tarus who was unavailable on the said weekend is set to guide his charges against a KFS side that lost the chance to be in the playoffs with a loss to Trailblazers on Friday 1 July. 

GSU have lost one match to Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) and are keen to keep their second place without losing another match. 

"Right now the focus is on making it to the playoffs without dropping more points. We are ready for KFS, well aware that they are a good side so we have to fight from the first whistle to the last," said Tarus. 

His opposite number Wachira Gatuiria has exuded confidence in his squad giving a similar performance to that from the abandoned match and go on to win. 

"GSU are not been a tough side for us. I have handled them before, including during the abandoned match and I know we can hold them," said Gatuiria. 

Action for the day opens with a clash between Prisons Rift Valley and Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) at 9am before the clash between GSU and KFS. 

Meanwhile, debutants Trailblazers play their last match of the season against Prisons Nairobi. Victory guarantees them a place in the final four and a chance to fight for the league title in the playoffs. 

Leaders KPA take on Administration Police (AP) in the last match of the day given the absence of Prisons Central who would have played the final match against GSU.
