Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) and Kenya Pipeline yesterday eased into the finals of the 2025-2026 season of the Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) National League. The dockers and oilers had no difficulty dismissing their opponents 2-0 in the best of three semi-final play-offs that end today at the Kasarani Indoor Arena. KPA broke the hearts of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) fans who were hoping that their side would get it right, win game two, and remain on course to sealing a place in the final.

The dockers made their intentions to end the series known with an impressive show that saw them win the first and second sets 25-18 and 25-22.

Determined not to go down without a proper fight, the soldiers then recovered to grab the third set 25-23. However, the James Ontere-coached KPA returned stronger to control the fourth set and win it 25-17.
