Police VC take control of Rwanda volleyball league after beating APR

The two teams secured identical 3-1 victories at Petit Stade in Remera, with the results giving Police an early advantage in the race for the league titles.

In the women’s competition, Police WVC extended its winning run to three matches, taking its points tally to nine and moving to the top of the standings. APR WVC followed in second place with six points.

Police VC also took first place in the men’s standings after beating APR VC 3-1, bringing its total to 13 points. APR remained second with 11 points.

The results came during the fifth round of the men’s competition and the third round of the women’s league.

The men’s clash renewed the rivalry between the two clubs after APR beat Police 3-2 at the Kirehe Open pre-season tournament. APR had recovered from losing the first two sets to win that encounter.

Friday’s victory reversed that outcome and put Police ahead of its main rival in the current league standings.

REG VC also strengthened its position in the men’s competition after defeating Rwanda Polytechnic Ngoma College in straight sets. The victory took REG to 10 points, placing it third behind Police and APR.

The league continued on Saturday with four scheduled fixtures.

RRA were set to face Kepler and RP Huye were due to play Ruhango in the women’s competition. In the men’s league, EAUR were scheduled to meet KVC, while Gisagara VC were to take on Kirehe VC.
