Speaking to Nation Sport after the game, Prisons coach David Lung'aho admitted his charges lost to a far better opponent.
"Carthage are a very good team. They were much stronger at the end of every set but all the sets were closely fought," said Lung'aho
Soon after, Pipeline - who are the Kenya Volleyball Federation league champions - suffered the same fate, losing to hosts and seven time continental champions Ahly in similar set scores of 22-25, 25-16, 25-19, 25-8).
