KCB out to reign supreme in the Thika Road Derby

Former Kenya Cup champions KCB RFC host Kenyatta University’s Blak Blad in a potential banana skin clash but the Bankers are looking to avoid any slip ups in the Enterprise Cup Quarter Finals.

The Bankers booked a place in the tournament’s last eight after a hard fought 34-25 victory over Strathmore Leos in the Round of 16 staged at the Den.

Speaking ahead of the clash, KCB scrumhalf Samuel Asati noted that they are brimming with confidence and expect a fiendish clash in the derby.

“Confidence levels are high, we take nothing for granted and we are going to put our best foot forward and give it our all.

This is the Thika Road Derby and we know it too well, we don't expect it to be easy but we'll go all out. We need to ensure authority from the first minute,” said Asati.

The Enterprise Cup is a tournament where KCB can take solace in having missed out of the Kenya Cup after a shock defeat at the hands of Menengai Oilers.

Blak Blad will head into the clash fresh after being handed an easy route to the Quarter Finals following a walkover against Mombasa RFC.

The clash is slated for a 3 PM kick off at the Den in Ruaraka.
