Rwanda’s tax collectors stunned the reigning champions, APR, 3-1, in a heart-pounding Friday night Volleyball League game held at Petit Stade.
The Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) team defeated APR on November 29 to move into the top position in the Rwanda Women’s Volleyball League with a perfect 4-0 record.
Elie Mutabazi-coached RRA team had a strong start, taking the first set 25-21, but the army team rallied to win the second set 25-19.
In a back-and-forth third set, the tax collectors triumphed 25-22 and entered the fourth set with confidence, determined to finish the game and secure the three points in this Kigali rivalry clash.
The fourth set was tight, with Peter Kamasa’s APR leading 23-22, but RRA showed maturity, taking the last three points to close the set 25-23 and win the match.
With the 3-1 victory, RRA now sits at the top of the standings, ahead of Police Women’s Volleyball, who had held the position since the start of the 2024-25 season.
RRA has accumulated 12 points from 4 games, winning 12 sets and conceding only two. Police trails just behind with 11 points from 4 games, while defending champions APR occupy third place with 10 points.
APR has now lost to both direct rivals, RRA and Police in their opening games.
