Harlequins looking to finish strong in Kenya Cup race

Kenya Harlequin Head Coach Paul Murunga has warned his charges against underrating Kisumu RFC who they host this weekend at the RFUEA grounds here in Nairobi, in their penultimate game of the regular season.

Harlequin got back to winning ways last weekend when they saw off South Coast Pirates 43-17 and Murunga believes that win is a big relief to the boys as they prepare to host the Nyanza-based Kisumu RFC.

"Despite Kisumu being lower on the log we should not underrate them, so we need to play according to our strategy and play a good game. This weekend we will be at home so we need to play well and make sure we achieve our target in terms of getting a bonus points. We will stick to our structure of playing as a team and not as individuals," explained Murunga.

Murunga says his boys have been training well and looking to end the season on a high, heading to the playoffs.

"We came back to our winning ways last weekend. The boys are good to go; we still have two games to go, the first one against Kisumu and then next weekend we play against Strathmore.

"These are teams that I know are up to task because they have their own battles as they are battling relegation but I know we have an upper hand because we have a better team than them. So for us we still want to play and win both games to give us a better chance in the quarter finals which going by the way the table is right now, we will play against Nondies."

Harlequin have already secured their slot in the play off, as they are currently fifth with 27 points, six points ahead of Blak Blad who occupy the last play off slot.
