The decider match is slated for Sunday 9 June at Kasarani Indoor Arena
In a highly-anticipated Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) women's playoff final Game Two clash, staged at Kasarani Indoor Arena, holders Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) revenge their Game One loss to Prisons Kenya to set the stage for a decider Game Three.
Having fallen in straight sets to the same rival in Game One, the Japheth Munala-led holders returned with a vengeance to easily dispense Josp Barasa's side 3-0 (28-26, 26-24, 25-21) in a cracker.

KCB got off to a flying start, racing to a 7-1 lead that was quickly cut off, majorly due to the bankers' errors, to 8-7 forcing Munala into a timeout.
The warders assumed lead at 9-8, going ahead 15-12 before Munala's charges came back to level the score at 16. Belinda Barasa delivered back-to-back aces to see KCB lead 18-16. Prisons came back to tie the set at 22, 24 and 26 before the bankers pulled away to take the set 28-26.
In the second set, the bankers kept their hold on the scores, leading mostly by a point with Prisons leveling the score on several occasions. However, Barasa's charges failed to put the set to bed, allowing the bankers to take the set 26-24.
The third set was clearly a bankers' take-it-all as they dominayed 25-21 to ensure they have a chance at defending their title on Sunday. The golden match is scheduled for 2pm at Kasarani Indoor Arena.
