Former Kenya Hockey Union (KHU) Men’s Premier League champions Butali Warriors bounced back from their disappointing last outing to beat Wazalendo Hockey Club 3-2 in a match played yesterday at Dashamesh Stadium.

Warriors, who went into the match on the back of a humbling 1-6 defeat to United States International University of Africa (USIU-A) Mashujaa, did not take any chances, taking a 3-0 halftime advantage. They put up a spirited fight in the second half, protecting their lead to the whistle even as Wazalendo fought tooth and nail to recover and probably win the match.
