The DCI Queens volleyball team announced their arrival at the Kenya Cup Second Edition in emphatic fashion, sweeping aside Nairobi Prisons in a dazzling opening performance at Nyayo Stadium’s basketball court. From the first serve to the final point, the Queens played with purpose and power, leaving fans buzzing and rivals on notice.
Dominant display from start to finish
The match unfolded as a masterclass in control and intensity. The Queens claimed a straight-sets victory, 3–0, imposing their rhythm across every set and never allowing Nairobi Prisons to find a foothold. Each rally showcased crisp attacking, disciplined defence, and a tempo that kept the opposition chasing shadows.
Caroline Jeruto shines as Player of the Match
At the heart of the victory was Caroline Jeruto, whose all-around brilliance earned her the Player of the Match award. Jeruto’s sharp serves, timely blocks, and clutch kills provided the spark that turned tight moments into momentum swings, and her leadership on court lifted the entire squad.
Rivalry renewed as KCB looms
With the opening win secured, the Queens now turn their attention to a marquee showdown against perennial rivals KCB, set for Saturday at the same venue. Anticipation is high: fans can expect another high-octane contest as both sides vie for early supremacy in the tournament.
National Police Service presence across the tournament
The Kenya Cup also features several teams representing the National Police Service. Alongside the DCI Queens, the men’s squads — GSU, AP Kenya, and KAPU — are poised to begin their campaigns in the coming days, promising more competitive action and proud displays of teamwork.
Fans urged to pack the stands
The Service has urged the public to turn out for the four-day tournament to cheer on the NPS teams and soak up the on-court drama. With momentum on their side, the DCI Queens will be hoping the home crowd’s energy carries them through what promises to be an electrifying week of volleyball.
