Kenyan NT
The girls – who have time and again brought glory to the nation with their impressive performances in the Africa Nations Cup – survived an accident on the Nairobi-Naivasha Highway.
Travelling by road (they do not have the luxury of air travel like their football counterparts), the African champions’ bus was slightly hit by a trailer heading to Mombasa at Kikuyu, delaying their journey for two hours.
Luckily, no one was injured in the accident. The team managed to proceed on their Modern Express Bus, reaching the Busia boarder at 8am Wednesday and Kampala shortly before 1pm.
“It was a minor accident and we are all fine,” head coach David Lung’aho told Daily Nation Sport.
The team will be participating in the 2014 World Championships Africa Zone Five qualification tournament. Four national teams, Kenya, Egypt, Uganda and Tanzania – will be battling in the championship that starts on Thursday at the MTN Arena in Lugogo.
Only two teams qualify from the event for the Continental final qualification due for January next year. Kenya will have little time to rest as they take to the courts against Egypt whom they beat in the Sub-Zonal final today at 6pm.
