Leaders Black Mamba are in action as the Kenya Handball Federation (KHF) league resumes at Kaloleni courts on Sunday.
Mamba, who are fifth on the 25-team log with 17 points from eight wins, play the Technical University of Kenya (TUK) who are 21st.
Playing at their backyard, Mamba should expect huge support from their home fans as they chase the top guns.
"We have trained well and we hope to get two points against Spartans. I think we have an opportunity to give out our best against Black Mamba and, hopefully, get a fair result," said TUK tactician Lawrence Wafula.
The games are resuming after a break in January due to the national men's team assignment in Cairo, Egypt.
Kenya found the going rough as they finished 14th in the Africa Nations Cup cum All Africa Games qualifiers 16-team tournament.
Other matches will see Strathmore University, who are placed seventh with seven wins in 11 games, take on Daystar University — who are ninth with similar wins.
Buccaneers have a date with Spartans as Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (Jkuat) tackle a young Inspired side.
In the ladies matches, Rising Star, who have won only one of their seven ties, meet Daystar University, NYS and Mountain.
'Strath', who lost their highly-experienced coach Peter Mwathi to the newly formed Equity Bank, confront Nanyuki, who have 13 points from six wins in 10 matches.
Buccaneers who are 12th with five wins from eight matches tackle Anthony Naburuck-coached National Youth Service (NYS).
"I've lost some of my players to classes but I have also recruited new ones. I have had some friendlies to see how they are integrated into the system," said Naburuck.
"I will see how they adapt in our first matches — both men and women. But from what I have seen, we are good to go."
Inspired, a team composed of Hospital Hill students, also play Hunters as TUK return for a date with Spartan.
An all-varsity duel of the day will have Daystar renew varsity rivalry with Jkuat.
