By CAXTON APOLLOMore by this AuthorCo-operative Bank teams made flying starts in their opening men and women’s Premier League play-offs quarter-final matches at Strathmore University, Madaraka over the weekend. Earlier, Co-op Bank women, who lost 0-3 to Kenya Ports Authority in last year’s play-offs semi-final, had set the ball rolling by narrowly beating stubborn newcomers Zetech University 44-43. Co-op Bank men and women are now one match up 1-0 up in the best-of-three series quarter-finals and could wrap up matters this weekend with wins in Game Two. Co-op Bank, who had forward James Mwangi scoring a game-high 20 points, heavily punished Umoja 23-8 in the last quarter. Co-op Bank, who have won the league championship eight times, more that any other team in the competition, sailed into the play-offs after grabbing second position with 39 points.
