Kabras wary of improved KCB ahead of Kenya Cup final

Kabras RFC head coach Carlos Katywa says his side is ready for a tougher test against a much-improved KCB when the two teams meet in the Kenya Cup final on Saturday at the ASK Kakamega Showgrounds.

Katywa noted that KCB have grown into a more balanced and competitive outfit, blending youth and experience, and pushed Kabras to the limit during their 10-10 draw in the regular season before rain disrupted the match.

“KCB this season is very different from the one we played in the regular season last season before the rain interrupted the game. They had really pushed us to the limit and despite the draw, you could see a very solid side in them, so we have to be well prepared,” said Katywa.

Kabras are chasing a fourth consecutive Kenya Cup title, but the coach emphasized that discipline and execution will be key against their rivals.

“When facing such a team you have to be perfect in every department, that is what we are training for at the moment. But I can assure our fans who have been with us forever that the game will be interesting to watch, he added.

Having topped the standings, Kabras will enjoy home advantage in Kakamega, with Katywa expressing confidence that his side can capitalize on the support and retain the title.
