Wafalme hit Ghana to bag first win in Cairo

Wafalme Stars registered their first win in the ongoing CAVB African Nations Championships after rallying from behind to edge Ghana 3-2(23,25,25-21,16-25,25-17 and 15-11) on Wednesday evening.

Prior to the game, the Kenyan boys were seeking to bounce back after losing to Libya in straight sets (25-23,25,22, and 25-12) on Tuesday, leaving their hopes of advancing to the knockout stage hanging by the thread. 

Gideon Tarus charges were hoping to redeem themselves after losing 3-1 (22-25,20-25,26-24 and 17-25) to Cameroon in the opener. 

Reacting to the win, Tarus hailed his charges for the fighting spirit they depicted against Ghana. 

"I am happy with the win, our first in the tournament. I am equally impressed with the fighting spirit the players had. I am sure, we will play well in the next game," said Tarus.
