Orange Telkom reaffirmed its commitment to hockey when they signed a new Sh15.5 million sponsorship package for its club ahead of the 2015 Kenya Hockey Union League and Africa Cup of Clubs Championships.

The sponsorship is way up from the Sh5.8 million windfall they received last year. The cash will be largely spent on Orange Telkom's continental title defence and the local league.
