KVF League: Kenya Pipeline set sight on title as season serves off

Coach Geoffrey Omondi is confident his tenure at Kenya Pipeline will begin with success given the preparation the side has had ahead of the new Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) season that serves off on Thursday, 31 October in Nyeri. 

The tactician is making his debut in the women's top-tier league, joining from Trailblazers, taking over from Esther Jepkosgei.

"The team has been training intensely over the past few months, and I am impressed by the determination and commitment shown by both the seasoned players and the new signings," Omondi said ahead of their opening match against last season's losing finalists Prisons Kenya. 

The tactician says the side has mainly focused on strengthening their defense and refining their offensive strategies as they look to improve on their third-place finish. 

"With the talent and work ethic I have seen, I am optimistic that the team will build on last season’s success and perform better this season. We have a clear goal this season: to finish top. With the right mindset, disciplined training, and the support of our fan base, we believe we can achieve that," Omondi added. 

The side has bolstered its lineup with four new players, middle blocker Elizabeth Mariam Musa, outside hitter Marian Sokoiyo, middle blocker Violet Makuto, and left attacker Noel Murambi returning.

Skipper Gladys Ekaru echoed the coach’s sentiments, adding that the new players bring additional depth and versatility to the squad. 

"It is an honor to lead such a dedicated team that I have been part of for a couple of years now. The new players have seamlessly integrated into the team, and their presence has already elevated our training sessions. We are all motivated to surpass last season’s achievements and compete at the highest level. I am excited about what the future holds," Ekaru offered.
