Twenty-four games have been lined up for the third leg of the Kenya Volleyball Federation men's league starting today at Nyayo Stadium.
Every club in the 16-team league will play three matches apiece for the three-day competition.
Defending champions General Service Unit take on Vihiga, Rift Valley Prisons, and Kenya Forest Service respectively.
GSU coach Gideon Tarus said in as much as they respect their opponents, he believes they have what it takes to bag maximum points in their encounters.
"Our opponents are playing well but what matters most will be nine points," Tarus stated.
"Preparations have been better, morale is high and the boys can't wait to compete. The aim is to retain the KVF title. People doubted us at the start of the season because we lost vital players to professional stints overseas but we have silenced them through winning."
