Kenya Hockey league newcomers Chase and Amira Sailors will have their own pitch donated by Hurley Club from the Netherlands. It will be ready before the end of the year.

The ground will be set up at Sikh Union grounds at a cost 700,000 Euros. The ground-breaking took place on Saturday July 30, 2016 and clears path for Raicon contractors to begin the work. The turf left Netherlands at the start of July and is expected to arrive in the country within the month.
