Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) women's basketball team is determined to reclaim the national title from defending champions Equity Bank in the MadGoat National Classic Basketball League play-offs final.
After missing out on the Africa Club Championship, the KPA team has returned to training and is focused on winning the national title.
'It has been tough on us because it is the first time we are missing such a high-profile tournament after working so hard to qualify, but all that is now behind us as we seek to reclaim the trophy we lost to Equity last year,' said Hilda Indasi, the team's assistant captain and national team captain.
Indasi noted that the KPA management has always treated the team well and that missing one championship is not a reason for condemnation.
Equity Bank coach David Maina expressed confidence in his team's chances, saying they will be difficult to beat.
'There is no injury scare or anything. My target is to get one game, but if we win game two in Mombasa, I will be still very okay,' Maina said.
