Former Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF) women’s premier league champions Equity Bank Hawks are out for a firm grip at the top of the women’s standings tomorrow when they take on Western Delight at United States International University of Africa (USIU-A) outdoor courts.

The 2016 winners are currently on top of the women’s standings with 36 points from 19 outings and a victory against Western Delight will see them secure slot in the playoffs. They will be looking to build on last weekend’s successful outings that saw them beat champions Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) 48-42 and KU Oryx 66-26.
