Oloo reveals Nakuru RFC’s objectives ahead of next season

Two-time Kenya Cup champions Top Fry Nakuru had a season to forget in the just-concluded campaign with head coach Felix Oloo highlighting the importance of having his team intact ahead of next season.

Nakuru survived relegation on the final day of the season after beating bitter rivals Menengai Oilers to preserve their Kenya Cup status for another campaign.

Oloo noted that his main objective was to see his players stay put ahead of next season having struggled to gather pace at the start of last campaign.

“As a team, we have to stick together and make sure we do not lose any player because the season was really tough, we did not have a good preseason but along the way, we picked up.

The boys gelled as the season progressed and losing again, to me it was not a loss because I chose to focus on other things like being good at set-pieces and ball in hand but discipline was not that good,” said Oloo.

Nakuru were bundled out of the Enterprise Cup following a 20-16 loss against Impala Saracens in the quarter-final hurdle leaving them to focus on the National Seven’s circuit that kicks off in April.

Oloo also pinpointed where they lost the clash against Impala as discipline cost his side, giving away a number of penalties and also having a man sent to the sin bin.

“We lost in the second quarter when we conceded the try which was the game-changer, we would have been better if we were disciplined but I can’t take it away from Impala, they wanted it more.

Leading and losing it at the final minutes is not that good, the players really gave their all and I commend them for that,” added Oloo.
