By John Kwoba NAIROBI, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Kenya on Thursday beat Rwanda junior women volleyball team in straight sets as it finalized its build up ahead of their next week departure for the World Championship in Japan. However, head coach Hidehiro Irisawa will have to quickly address the issue of reception, which was the main problem in the Kenyan team as they registered a 3-0 win of 25-8, 25-23 and 25-17 over their Rwandan opponents who are on transit to Tunisia for the Africa junior volleyball championship from next week. 'The match was crucial for us in the preparation for the championship in Tunisia,' said Paul Bitok, the Rwanda team coach. 'But Kenya still need to improve on the reception. This is affecting their court movement and it might cause them to lose matches in Japan.' With access to a standard gym denied, the team is having to do with limited service area, which leaves them exposed against stronger opposition. But Now after three weeks of training, Kenya is expected to depart next Wednesday for Japan where it will be appearing in its third world championship after 2002 in Germany and 2006 in Japan. Kenyan players exuded confidence, of the preparations and remained optimistic, they will be able to match their opponents in Japan. 'I do not feel any pressure at all. After all the preparations we have had, I believe, there is great momentum and talent in this squad. It will not be business as usual and our opponents better realize that,' said setter Jane Wacu. Wacu, 25, has emerged stronger to claim her place in the team edging out Janet Wanja. And now she wants to prove her prowess and repay the coach's trust in her as she pivots Kenya's quest for its first victory in global competition outside Africa. Kenya is eying to go beyond the first round and having been put up against world champions Brazil, Italy, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Puerto Rico, Wanja is certain at least two of the teams in the group will be victims to Kenya's onslaught. 'The team spirit is high. We have improved on speed, reception and self confidence. Now we feel no butterflies in the stomach when we meet the top teams. We are equal to the task,' she said. Wacu will have to partner with veteran Rhoda Liyali in the swivel position. However, she is confident; the improvement registered in reception of balls will bring out the best in her game. 'For now I do not move out of my position openly to collect the balls and this is important in solidifying my game. It will be a better performance from the whole team,' she said. The world championship will kick off from October 30 to November 14, with Kenya based in Hamamatsu City. Team captain Praxicedes Agala said the team still needs to polish up its service skills, which has been handicapped by lack of a standard pitch. Efforts to get the team to the Moi International Sports Center, Kasarani have been unsuccessful with the government declining to fund them. Kenya assistant coach David Lung'aho said Puerto Rico and the Czech Republic are teams that play in their league and are beatable. 'Our target is going beyond the preliminaries and Puerto Rico and the Czech Republic are much in our plans. We must take their scalps and seek to stamp our authority on others senior teams like Italy and Brazil,' he said.
