The University of Eldoret (UoE) men's and women's netball teams' head coach Stella Kiptoo hopes to register good results in this weekend's Kenya Universities Sports Federation (KUSF) tournament at the Masai Mara University in Narok County.
The two-day event will mark the third edition of the games and will start on Saturday and end on Sunday. “We are heading there with the sole aim of posting good results. Our aim is to finish on the podium in our respective disciplines.
The women's team finished second in the last edition held in March and they are hopeful of going a step further in the event that has attracted 13 other universities.
“We had a good run at the ball games earlier this year with the women's team finishing second but this time, we want to improve on that position,” Kiptoo noted.
The men's team finished fourth at the games and Kiptoo is promising to change his tactic and ensure they finish on the podium.
The KUSF Secretary General Joseph Sandagi said such events are geared towards improving the standards in the disciplines. “ This is an opportunity for the youths to improve their skills in their respective disciplines,” said Sandagi.
