Defending champions Nairobi Water Queens picked their second win of the tournament against Tanzania’s Ngome 28-16 at the ongoing East and Central Africa Handball Federation Senior Championships.

The win inches them closer to retaining the regional title. They made it two wins after thumping Jeshi La Kujenga Taifa (JKT) 42-20 in their opening match. The winners were on fire from the opening whistle as they ran rings around their opponents for a 15-9 lead at the break.
