With the Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF) women's Premier League regular season coming to a close, the competition is heating up between Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) and Equity Bank. Published on October 14, 2019, the two teams are in a tight race for the top spot, with KPA currently leading with 42 points from their 22 matches.
Defending champions Equity Bank are second with 41 points, having hammered Western Delight 96-29 in a match played at Nyayo Gymnasium in Nairobi on Saturday. According to Equity's head coach David Maina, their win was due to hard work, and they will need to continue working on their defense.
'Our defence was good but we will have to continue working on it; our offense was meanwhile very sharp with many players who could score,' said Maina.
Equity will face Strathmore in their last league match on Wednesday, while KPA will look to maintain their lead. KPA has been on a roll, crushing Tangit Sparks 103-20 at KPA Makande Gymnasium and smashing ANU 110-35 at the same venue.
Meanwhile, KPA's men's team are still unsure whether they will finish in third or fourth position, with 38 points from their completed league matches.
