Kenya Prisons took to the court as favourites against El Shams of Egypt in their Africa Women Volleyball Club match, but were humbled 3-1.

Competition at the event in Tunis, Tunisia was expected to be stiff. Participating teams knew the kind of opposition they would face. Tough and stiff. During such tournaments, there is little room for error, non at all.
