Published on November 1, 2019, the Kenya Handball Federation National League is heating up with top teams vying for the top spot. National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) and Nairobi Water will face off in a top-of-the-table clash at Kaloleni grounds in Nairobi.
Both teams have a 100 percent record in the league, with NCPB having won all three matches for a tally of six points and Nairobi Water having eight points from four wins.
