Nanyuki Saturday were forced to dig deep for a 32-27 win over Generations in a Kenya Handball Federation National League match at Kaloleni grounds, Nairobi.
Jores Nzioka and Joel Kingori contributed nine and seven goals respectively to lead Nanyuki to their third win of the season. Celestine Okoyana and Raul Alexander had a combined tally of 15 goals for the losers.
Nanyuki coach Nancy Owaga conceded Generations is a decent side having made her charges sweat for the win.
“We had to utilise every chance we got because our opponents put us under a lot of pressure especially in the second half where we struggled with speed. Generations is a tougher team than we thought but I’m glad we won,” said Owaga.
Generations player-coach Okoyana cut a dejected figure post match.
“That was a disappointing match because we should have done better. We need to work hard in training to pick ourselves up in the next match,” said Okoyana.
