Champions Butali Sugar Warriors are one match away from retaining their men’s hockey Premier League gong. Warriors beat Greensharks 2-1 in a scrappy playoffs match played yesterday at City Park Stadium.

They square it out with former titleholders Strathmore University Gladiators who had earlier on edged 2013 winners Kenya Police 3-2 in post-match penalties at the same venue to book their finals slot. Police who were hoping to make the finals will play Sharks in third place playoffs before the title decider next weekend.
