Five matches are on the card this weekend as the Kenya Handball Federation 2021 season comes to an end.
The league winners are already decided after National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) and Nairobi Water Queens clinched the men and women titles respectively.
Both teams have amassed an unassailable lead of 34 and 26 points respectively in one of the tightest races in recent years.
The only men’s fixture of the weekend will see third-placed Black Mamba, who ruined Strathmore University’s chances of winning the title, face off against fifth Ulinzi.
The Kaloleni-based side have 30 points, compared to the students, who have 32. A win for Mamba will move them to second on a better goal aggregate. A win for the soldiers, who succumbed 25-23 to ‘Strath’ in a tight encounter last weekend, will see them leapfrog GSU to fourth.
Star-studded women champions Nairobi Water Queens, who are the only team yet to lose a match, face off against fourth-placed Nanyuki. But a cracking women’s pairing pits second-placed Ulinzi Sharks — with 20 points — against former champions NCPB, who are third on 18.
Sharks will first warm up with an easy duel against Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (Jkuat). A win will see them finish second. KHF announced that the top six men’s team’s in the table will qualify for next season’s Super Cup alongside four top women’s teams.
