Rwanda again lost to Egypt in Wednesday’s final of the Africa sitting volleyball championships at Kasarani Indoor Stadium.

The loss extended Rwanda’s winless record against the African giants to 16 years.

Egypt have been in high flying form throughout the campaign, and they still looked unstoppable against Mosaad Elaiuty’s charges, winning the final in three straight sets 25-21, 25-13 25-20 to lift the trophy.
