NCC face tough NCPB test in KHF league

Newbies Nairobi City County (NCC) have their work cut out this weekend as they play National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) in one of four matches scheduled in the Kenya Handball Federation (KHF) league. 

The Wilfred Madara-led county side are facing the league champions, on Sunday 17 July for the first time this season, in what will be the millers' fifth match of the season. 

On their part, NCC are chasing a fourth victory in what will be their seventh match of the season. Skipper Nick Barasa beleives the team is well prepared for the challenge ahead even as he acknowledged NCPB's experience.  

"We have had good preparations and on the remaining days we are polishing on all areas. Last weekend's matches were cancelled so we got two weeks to prepare for the NCPB clash. 

Against a team as experienced as NCPB, our attack will need to be perfect. We will also need to plag our best defense and avoid mistakes that could have us punished," offered Barasa.

KHF was forced to postpone their weekend matches and Saturday 16 July matches as the Nyayo Handball Court is being used for a 3x3 basketball tournament on the said days. 

"We have watched NCPB in action this season and we know what to expect from them. They are an experienced side that has been together for long. 

Unlike our team, that is still gelling, they have their systems figured out and to beat them one has to stop their plays which is what we will try to do," added Barasa.
