KCB RFC Head Coach Curtis Olago has urged his charges not to rest on their laurels when they take on Strathmore Leos in Kenya Cup action this weekend at the Den in Ruaraka.
The bankers have been imperious since the beginning of the season, picking up four straight wins in the last four matches to maintain their second position in the current standings, 20 points behind the Kabras, who lead by points difference.
“We need to be wary of Strathmore Leos, who have always caused a lot of problems whenever we play them. The boys must be solid at the back and avoid costly mistakes that may deny us a chance to win the game. We have trained well this week, and I am happy with my players. Calling upon our fans to show up in large numbers for the weekend’s fixture,”
noted KCB RFC Head Coach Curtis Olago.
Winger Festus Shiasi currently sits 4th in the leading top scorers list with 5 tries, while Austin Sikutwa is 3rd in the leading points scorers with 30 points bagged for the Curtis-Olago-led side.

The trio of Scrum-half Samuel Asati, winger Festus Shiasi and Vincent Onyala, who were instrumental in leading Kenya Sevens to glory at the HSBC Challenger series in Dubai, are back with the team but are unlikely to feature for the bankers this weekend.
KCB Captain Griffin Musila said:
“The boys are oozing confidence, and we cannot wait to take on Leos over the weekend. It has always been an interesting match against them, so we expect another tough but amazing encounter.”
Olago and his technical team are expected to name the squads that will represent KCB in both the ESS and Kenya Cup matches this Saturday.
