Kakamega High School Rugby Coach Wamanga tips Kabras RFC to retain Kenya Cup

 Kakamega High School rugby head coach Amos Wamanga has tipped Kabras Sugar RFC to continue the dominance in the Kenya Cup when the new season begins this weekend.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, Wamanga  said the quality of players and the depth in the squad makes them favourites to win the title for a fourth time in a row.

“They have a very solid team that has quality players who have played together for long and they have gained experience from the national team and different competition,  I don’t see any team coming closer to them at the moment,” said Wamanga.

He is however not ruling out Menengai Oilers giving Kabras a run for their money, having won the floodlight tournament, by beating Impala in the final, saying they too are having a good project under Gibson Weru.

“Menengai too, have a good team, and their project is heading in the right direction, under Weru, but for Kabras, even if you look at their Kenyan team that played in the Elgon Cup against Uganda, most of them are from Kabras,”added Wamanga.

Shujaa will be making a return to the world seven series later this month, and the veteran tactician says sticking with the team that played in the challenger series and Olympics will be key for good results in the legs.

“The team is growing well, they got a feeling of what to expect in the series during the Olympics and I am sure they gained the experience needed to compete in the series,” stated the head coach.
