Defending champions University of Kibungo (UNIK) will host their rivals and last season’s first runners-up APR and Kirehe in round four of the national volleyball league on Saturday in Ngoma District.

Former champions APR are in sixth position with seven points, while Kirehe are fourth with 8 points.

"We need to give our best in both matches and because we want to defend our title, this team is hungry for more success and we will go into the matches with a purpose of winning,” said Ntawangundi.

His APR counterpart, Sammy Mulinge said that, "We will continue to work hard and try to win the two games.”
