The cancellation of Nanyuki’s matches has resulted in a point deduction for teams that won against them, which further complicates the standings for several teams in the bottom half of the table.
Equity Bank’s commanding performance in the Kenya Handball Federation Men's League continues to set the pace for the rest of the competition. Their latest 33-23 victory over UOE Pipers on Saturday further extended their lead to 24 points, placing them four points clear of second and third-placed Ulinzi and defending champions NCPB, who still have two games in hand. This victory strengthens their position as title contenders and adds pressure on the chasing pack to catch up.
UOE Pipers had a mixed weekend. Although they lost to Equity, their earlier 40-26 triumph over Hunters demonstrated their capability to compete with strong teams. Inspired Boys also managed to secure a nail-biting 27-26 win over NYS Men, while Thika edged out Hammers 43-37, showing that the competition remains intense as teams vie for top spots.
Meanwhile, the absence of Nanyuki Handball Team and the cancellation of all their matches has created some shifts in the standings. The league is also being reshaped with Rangers Men not participating in this year's fixtures. The recent weekend’s results have shifted some of the rankings and have presented an exciting contest for the teams in the middle of the table, looking to break into the upper tier.
With teams like Strathmore University, GSU, and Daystar Falcons maintaining strong performances, it will be interesting to see how the league unfolds in the coming weeks. The cancellation of Nanyuki’s matches has resulted in a point deduction for teams that won against them, which further complicates the standings for several teams in the bottom half of the table.
Looking ahead, the two-month break may have disrupted some teams’ momentum, but it has also provided a chance for others to regroup. With critical matchups on the horizon, every game will count as teams fight for crucial points to either maintain or improve their positions. As it stands, Equity Bank remains the team to beat, but with Ulinzi and NCPB still in the hunt, this season’s league title is far from decided.
