Top rugby teams battle it out for finals slot in Kenya Cup

“We are now at a level where all the top teams are playing each other,” said Michael “Tank” Otieno KCB’s coach.

In their next fixture on March 20th, KCB host an upbeat Nakuru side and will be looking to make amends for their heavy defeat in the hands of Quins last weekend.

“We had an off day and some players were not focused,” said Mr Otieno “Whatever it is we are still in contention.”

On their end, Nakuru will come on the back of a morale boosting 8 -6 victory of Impala.

The fact that Impala had raided the Rift Valley side for players at the beginning of the season added flavour to the tie.

“We could read their game since we knew most of their players,” said Mr Owili the Nakuru tactician.

He adds that his side will be gunning for second place to ensure a home fixture in the semi final play offs.

At the tail end of the table it has been yet another season of “so close yet so far” for the Nondies squad who after a spirited beginning to this year’s league has crumbled in crucial away games.

“The mistakes we have been making have crept up again,” says Bobby Oyugi the Nondies center. “It’s like déjà vu.”
