Kenya Cup: KCB out to maintain winning run against Nakuru

Matchday 11 of the Kenya Cup will only see one game kick-off as reigning champions KCB RFC are in pursuit of extending their seven-game unbeaten run against an out of form Top Fry Nakuru RFC.

KCB are coming from a morale-boosting 50-3 win over Mwamba RFC and will be brimming with confidence ahead of their clash against Nakuru RFC after claiming their first half-century of the season.

The Bankers have picked up wins against Strathmore Leos, Kenya Harlequin, Blaklad, Nondescripts, MMUST, Menengai Oilers and their most recent whitewash of Mwamba this campaign.

Speaking to Mozzart Sport, KCB head coach Curtis Olago noted that he will not be carried away by Nakuru’s torrid form and their rich vein of form.

“I do not know if they are out of form but we are going to approach the game with the same respect because it is a game just like the others,”

“All the factors are the past, the present and all that matters is that we have a game on Saturday and we hope to play just the way we have trained. We do not have any injury concerns, we are all good in the camp,” said Olago.

KCB currently lead the Kenya Cup standings with 33 points, three ahead of second-placed Kabras who have played a game less and have a superior points difference.

Nakuru are on a three-game losing streak in the Kenya Cup having lost to a resurgent Strathmore Leos, Kabras Sugar and Impala Saracens.

The Nakuru-based club are currently on a rebuilt as they have a lean squad that has found it hard to cope with the physicality of the Kenya Cup in recent games.

Two other Matchday 11 clashs pitting Impala Saracens against Strathmore Leos and Mwamba versus Nondescripts have been postponed.
