Published on October 4, 2019, the Kenya Handball Federation national league is set to enter Round Four this weekend at the Kaloleni grounds.
Four newcomers will be in action: Nanyuki and Thika (men) as well as Kaluluini (men and women).
Mount Kenya University-Thika, seeking their first win of the season, welcome Nanyuki in the first match of the men's fixture, followed by newcomers Thika and Kaluluini facing off.
Warriors, winless, will take on unbeaten Boomarang in search of their first win.
Inspired Boys, placed seventh with four points from seven matches, will look for their third win against Kaluluini before Nanyuki return to the courts against Boomarang.
Debutants Rising Starlets, who have won two matches and lost as many, will play host to Kaluluini in the only women's match of the day.
On Sunday, Strathmore University men's team will aim to go joint top with champions National Cereals and Produce Board and former champions Black Mamba, who are out of action.
Strathmore coach Peter Mwathi said they will be seeking to keep their unbeaten run as they eye the title this season.
