Katywa wary of threat posed by Oilers ahead of Kenya Cup fixture

Kabras RFC Head Coach Carlos Katywa is wary of the threat posed by Menengai Oilers ahead of the RAI derby, slasted for this weekend.

Speaking to Citizen Digital on Thursday, Katywa underlined their desire to keep their unbeaten record in Kenya Cup this season, but conceded they have to avoid taking anything for granted against Oilers.

The competition is entering its homestretch, and Katywa knows just how strong Oilers have been in the campaign so far.

“They are a very dangerous side that no one can underestimate even if we are unbeaten this season. We are preparing knowing it is going to be a very tough game for us away from home so everyone has to give their best,” said Kaytwa.

Menengai had been unbeaten until last weekend when they narrowly lost to league leaders KCB 27-25.

Katywa has credited their (Oilers) recent form to great team work and a good technical bench led by Gibson Weru.

“Team work has been instrumental for them they play for each other die for each other and they have a very good technical bench that has made them very consistent in recent times.”

The veteran tactician has at the same time raised concerns in the way they have been conceding in their recent matches, saying it is an area they have to improve on ahead of the Oilers clash.

“Of late we have been conceding easily that is an area we have to work on and make sure we improve drastically before it a costs us more,” Katywa observed.

KCB RFC lead the Kenya Cup standings with 45 points, one ahead of second placed Kabras RFC while the Oilers are third with 41 points.
