Kenya Pipeline has continued its dominant performance in the 2024/25 Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) Women’s National League, maintaining an unbeaten record with nine wins and 25 points after the fourth leg. This solid run has further established them as the team to beat this season, but with stiff competition from rivals like KCB Bank, the race for the top remains tight. KCB closely trails with seven wins and 23 points from nine matches, making the championship race all the more intriguing.
The contest for the third spot is equally intense, with both DCI and Prisons Kenya locked in a dead heat, each holding six wins and 18 points from seven matches. These teams are determined to secure a place in the playoff spots and have shown considerable promise throughout the season.
Postbank currently occupies fifth place with 14 points, while Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) is in sixth position, with 12 points. KDF’s performance has been particularly notable, especially after a 3-0 victory over Nairobi Prisons, demonstrating their potential to challenge the top teams.
At the lower end of the table, Kenya Army is in seventh place with 7 points, followed by Prisons Nairobi and Vihiga, both of whom have earned 6 points. These teams are in a fierce battle to remain competitive and avoid relegation from the upper half of the table. Maranatha, with just 3 points, and Young Spykers, who are yet to win a match, are struggling and find themselves at the bottom of the standings. Lipalikes Volleyball has yet to participate in any matches, leaving them in a precarious position as they look to enter the competition.
The fourth leg of the season, held at Nyayo Stadium, saw Kenya Pipeline extend its dominance. The team cruised to an easy 3-0 victory over Young Spykers and benefitted from two walkover wins due to opponent no-shows. KCB Bank also impressed with a 3-0 sweep over Kenya Army, showcasing their strength and squad depth. These victories have further solidified both teams’ positions at the top of the league table.
With the league heading into the final rounds of fixtures scheduled for May 2-4, 2025, all eyes are now on the eagerly anticipated matchup between Pipeline and KCB. This clash promises to be a defining moment in the season, potentially determining the front-runner for the championship. Both teams have shown outstanding form, and the result of this encounter could shape the outcome of the entire league.
As the league progresses, teams in the lower half will be looking to turn their fortunes around in the remaining fixtures.
