Under mixed conditions of periodical showers & a scorching sun, Resolution Impala Saracens could not execute with brutality to beat KCB Lions. The Gazelles lost the ball forward in critical territory, providing KCB the opportunity to score through Esau Otieno. The try went unconverted. Although KCB’s Shaban Ahmed was shown yellow for transgression, Impala would go ahead to lose the ball 5 times in contact & in doing so allowing KCB game-controlling possession. The second half seemed to provide an inch of space for Impala to wriggle through. Samuel Motari stretched his defender on the wing, got apprehended in the 22. Leon Adongo secured the ruck to bail him out. Patrick Mutuku swung it out to Kwemoi against a backdrop of KCB players who were yet to restructure their defence. Kwemoi’s loss of the ball forward, which was Impala’s best chance at coming back into the game countered by tactical play by the opponent for the remainder of the match means that Impala has to beat Kabras Sugar at 1340 HRS to keep Main Cup Quarter Final hopes alive.
FT: Resolution Impala Saracens 0-5 KCB Lions
Resolution Impala Saracens Head Coach – Oscar Osir:
We made 5 knock-ons, and missed clear scoring opportunities in times that mattered. It is very difficult to win a game of 7s if a team makes many errors both in attack and defence. I have had a chat with the boys and I hope they will execute as advised when they meet Kabras Sugar.
