The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Volleyball Team “Oil Power” delivered a brutal masterclass on Day Two of the 2026 CAVB Women’s African Volleyball Club Championship, overpowering Burundi’s Gender Light Club (GLC), 3-0 in a lopsided Pool ‘B’ encounter.
From the opening serve, the Kenyan powerhouse left no doubt about their title ambitions, overwhelming the Burundian debutants with a relentless offensive barrage.
KPC, often referred to as the “Oil Queens,” utilized their superior height and international experience, to shut down GLC’s net play from the onset.
While GLC showed flashes of resilience, they were ultimately unable to counter the depth of a KPC roster that features several Kenyan national team stars.
This emphatic 3-0 victory follows KPC’s Opening Day win over Ghana’s KSC on Monday that firmly placed them at the top of Pool B as the tournament heads toward the knockout rounds.
Yesterday’s performance follows the inaugural Pool ‘A’ victory against Ghana’s KSC where the KPC team won all three sets at 25-19, 25-21, and 25-13.
Established in 1984, the KPC ladies’ volleyball team competes in the local Kenya Volleyball Federation League as well as in African competitions, including the Club Championships.
The team boasts a wealth of talent, with its players representing Kenya as part of the Malkia Strikers in various international competitions.
