Men’s final APR 3-0 KVC Womens’ final KCB 3-0 KCC APR lived up to their billing by winning this year’s ‘tournoi international des disparus’ after a straight sets victory (3-0) over Kigali Volleyball Club at Amahoro indoor stadium. Although it was APR’s third consecutive title, it was only Jean-Luc Ndayikengurukiye’s first honor as APR coach and a big boast for the former APR and national team captain. “The boys played outstanding volleyball and deserved to win. I also want to credit KVC for putting up a strong fight. “And maybe the victory is good consolation for us after losing out in Kenya,” the 32-year-old said. Last week, APR narrowly missed out on the East and Central Volleyball Championships that were held in Kenya after a 1-3 defeat against Kenya’s KCB. Ndayikengurukiye was also excited about the victory and said that he is looking forward to guiding APR to more trophies. “This is a good start for my coaching career and I hope to achieve more in the future” he said. Meanwhile, Kenya Commercial Bank made light work of Uganda’s KCC 3-0 to remain undisputable in the ladies’ category. This year’s title was KCB’s fourth in a row. On top of winners’ trophies, APR and KCB also walked away with $1000 courtesy of CSR (Caisse Sociale du Rwanda) and FRVB (Rwanda Volleyball Federation). The two-day event that climaxed on Sunday attracted 21 clubs from Kenya, Uganda and hosts Rwanda. Ends
