The stadium belonged to the hosts — but the court? That belonged to Kenya. With poise, power, and purpose, the Kenya Ladies Netball Team(The Divas) claimed yet another memorable win at the UAE Netball Cup 2025, defeating the host nation 58-50 in a performance that left no doubt: Kenya came to conquer.
A Commanding Start, A Relentless Finish
Right from the center pass, Kenya showed their intentions. Swift transitions, clever positioning, and razor-sharp shooting saw them take early control of the game
The chemistry between the midcourt and shooting circle was on full display. Wing Attack and Centerdelivered pinpoint feeds to Goal Shooter and Goal Attack, who converted with calm consistency. At the end of the first quarter, Kenya led and the scoreboard only tilted more in our favor from there.
Defense that Dared, Midcourt that Danced
While Kenya’s attack was fluent, it was the defensive wall that truly shook the UAE’s rhythm. The trio of GK, GD, and WD clamped down hard — forcing turnovers, intercepting lazy passes, and snatching back momentum at critical points.
Meanwhile, Center put on a tactical masterclass — dictating tempo, resetting play, and keeping Kenya in total control.
“We came here with respect for UAE, but also with belief in ourselves,” said Coach Mugisha Ali. “The girls played smart netball — fast but patient, aggressive but clean.”
Celebrating Teamwork, Celebrating Kenya
Every player on the court stepped up — whether defending, scoring, or providing cover. It wasn’t just a game — it was a symphony of synchronized skill. The bench roared with every turnover, every shot, every quarter win.
“We’re building something special,” said Captain Parlin. “It’s about more than one win — it’s about what we represent: strength, sisterhood, and Kenya.”
Winning on Foreign Soil, Winning Hearts Back Home
This win not only lifts Kenya’s standing in the group, but it also cements the team’s status as one of the most exciting sides to watch in the championship. To beat the host nation in front of their crowd, and do it with such command — that’s no small feat.
