Kenya recovered gallantly from losing the opening set to defeat hosts Australia 3-1 (18-25, 25-16, 25-20 and 25-14) in a classic Group 3 semi-final contest of the women's FIVB Grand Prix at the AIS Arena in Canberra on Saturday.

The result secured the Malkia Strikers a tough rematch against Peru in the final of the Group on Sunday.

Peru defeated Colombia in straight sets of 25-16, 25-17 and 25-19 in the other semi-final played earlier on at the same venue.

Kenya's triumph over Australia - a third win on the trot against the Volleyroos over the past year in this competition - was achieved against a backdrop of reports suggesting discontent from senior players of the team, but played out before an expectant sold out crowd at the AIS Arena, that included Kenya's High Commissioner in Australia Isaiah Kabira.

"I'm happy we won, but again our without fans, we would not have won and I want to sincerely thank them. Our focus now shifts to tomorrow's (Sunday) match against Peru and hope that we will improve on our reception and post good results," Kenya captain Brackides Agala said after the match.

The hosts started much better in the opening set of the 110-minute contest, grabbing a 7-6, 8-7 and then 11-7 lead against a Kenyan side struggling with reception.

A tactical switch by Kenya coach David Lung'aho to replace setter Jane Wacu with the experienced Janet Wanja improved the team's overall play towards the end of the set, but this wasn't enough to turn things around.

Wanja, alongside Lydia Maiyo's introduction in the second set would prove pivotal, with the duo spearheading significant blocks and attacks for the African champions who rarely struggled in the proceeding set.

"It has been long since we played here at home and playing in front of our fans is something to be proud off. We have lost to a better prepared team but hope to regroup tomorrow (Sunday) against Colombia for the play offs. The target now is to finish this competition in the medal bracket," Australia captain Shane Sloane said.

Kenya will be all out to administer revenge on Peru, having lost to the South American nation in straight sets of 18-25, 12-25 and 23-25 in the opening leg of this competition staged in Mexico three weeks ago.

The Kenya women Volleyball team Malkia Strikers on Sunday re-wrote history books after coming from a set down to beat a stubborn Peru 3-1 and clinch Gold in the finals of the FIVB World Grand Prix Group Three at A.I.S arena Canberra, Australia.
This was a second meeting for the two teams in the same group and a sweet revenge for the Malkia strikers who lost the first match 3-0 when they met in Mexico two weeks ago.
The wins sees Kenyan queens who are the Africa Champions finish ahead of the eight teams in Group three (level 3) i.e. Australia, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Cuba, Algeria and Kazakhstan.
The Kenya side psyched themselves for the match with a celebratory dance but this joy was short-lived as Peru started the match well to grab a 25-21 first set win aided by their tactics of pinning Kenya with corner balls.
But a sideline talk by Coach David Lung'aho and Japheth Munala changed the tide of action as Kenya returned with intent sealing off the loose areas.
Kenya won the second set 25-17 and despite good effort by Peru, they escaped with a 22-25 third set win to give them a 2-1 advantage as they headed for fourth set.
On the fourth set, Peru started well and led 4-0 before Kenya started hitting back. The lead was exchanged between the sides until the 18 point, when Kenya quickly bagged four points to make it 18-22.A swift move by Peru saw them reduce the gap to 23-22 but before they could even, Kenya was within a set point at 24-22.
A final spike won Kenya the set to elicit wild celebration from the many Kenyan fans led by Ambassador Isaiah Kabira.
Mercy Moim was once again the highest points scorer in the match with 22 points.
This win will see Kenya elevated to a higher level 2 of the world competition in the coming year where they will meet stronger resistance. Current Group two (level 2) includes; Croatia, Canada, Argentina, Netherlands, Bulgaria, Puerto Rico, Czech Republic and Poland while Group 1 includes Japan, China , Brazil , Germany , Serbia, USA, Italy, Russia, Belgium. The teams are grouped according to their world ranks.
Michezoafrika.com congratulates the girls for flying the Kenyan flag with a distinction!
