Five Kenyan players who won gold medals in last year’s Mombasa Open International Tong Il Moo Do championships are ready to defend the titles at this year’s tournament that starts in Mombasa tomorrow.

The Kenyan team will, however, miss the services of experienced female athlete Jackline Muli, who won gold in the individual form category after she was ruled out of action with a nagging kneel injury.
