However, it will not be a walk in the park since Prisons and fellow country women Kenya Commercial Bank will also be in contention for the top honours. &#8220;Everybody is excited that we&#8217;re playing well after a string of poor performances in the recent years. We&#8217;re all pumped up for the tournament,&#8221; said KPC captain Lucy Chege. &#8221; This tournament always have a great atmosphere and we want to be part of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pipeline have struggled in the last four years, playing second fiddle to Prisons and KCB but Chege believes the team is ready to take control of the sport in the continent once again. &#8220;We are in a comeback programme that will see our team get back to our winning ways,&#8221; she said. Depending on how they will be pooled, Chege says they will have to be in the medal bracket to prove a point.&#8221;We always set out to try and win a tournament, but we definitely want to get into the gold and silver bracket and do well once we get there. We always want to leave the championships with confidence, feeling like we did a lot to get ourselves ready for it. This is the kind of tournament we want to do that because there are very good teams from all around the continent,&#8221; she said. Pipeline recently hired coach Japheth Munala, formerly of KCB and signed eight young players to replace the veterans.<\/p>\n<p>Pipeline have so far played in two legs of the national volleyball league where they have impressed, according to Chege.&#8221;I thought we looked really good overall in the league. We struggled a little bit against KCB&#8217;s speedy offence but we managed to contain them. We are definitely a stronger team than we were a year ago.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Among the players the side will rely on in their quest to reclaiming their title are national team attacker Asha Makuto, Rhoda Lyali and Roseline Odhiambo.<\/p>\n<p><!-- end story layout piece here --><\/p>\n<p><!-- close google_banner_subbody div ---><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><b>More News on allAfrica.com<\/b><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>See original article:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201104040234.html\" title=\"Africa: Pipeline Vow to Redeem Form As Africa Club Event Start\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Africa: Pipeline Vow to Redeem Form As Africa Club Event Start<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Nairobi Star (Nairobi) Dun Okinyo 1 April 2011 Kenya Pipeline believe it is redemption time as the women&#8217;s Africa Club volleyball Championships gets underway today at the Brookhouse gymnasium. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-365057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
