KCB volleyball coach David Kinga has admitted that his charges have what it takes to storm to the finals of the Kenya Institute of Bankers (KIB) competition.
He, however, warned that first things first and they must win their semi-finals on Friday.
Both the men’s and women’s volleyball teams face off against Cooperative Bank in the last four with a place in the finals to be held on Saturday at the Kenya School of Monetary Studies.
Speaking during the teams' training session at the Ruaraka Sports Club, Kinga said: “We know the weight of the challenge that awaits us on Friday and we are preparing the two teams appropriately to stun our opponents and qualify for the finals.”
This is the 36th edition of the annual Inter-banks competition. KCB football team has already booked a slot in the football semi-finals having cruised past ABSA in a closely contested affair where the former won 1-0.
The chess team on the other hand currently sits third after garnering 31 points. Equity are leading the pack with 34 points while NBK are second with 33 points. The team will lock horns with DTB today in a crunch clash that will determine the winner of the tournament.
