The Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) had a successful weekend in Eldoret and Kisumu, both in the Kenya National Basketball League for which they reaped maximum points.
Defending champions KPA women’s basketball team routed Eldonets 77-26 in Eldoret after leading 28-13 at halftime and leading the game throughout.
The results of this game were dominated by Jemimah Knight, who had 18 points, and Rita Aluoch, who had 14. During the match that took place on Saturday in Kisumu, KPA won 72-15 over Lady Bucks with Linda Alando nailing 15 points, while Velma Achieng and Selina Okumu each scored 12 points.
I must admit that as the game progressed, my girls adjusted as the game progressed, which is good news for me as a coach,” said KPA coach Anthony Ojukwu. “This was our first time playing this team, so we didn’t know what to expect.”
