6th placed Resolution Impala Saracens will this weekend take on 13th placed CUEA Monks at the Catholic University beginning 2 p.m EAT. Head coach Erick Situma has made 3 changes to the team that drilled 6 tries and converted two against Mean Machine last weekend. A lot of ball handling mistakes were witnessed in the first half. Sammy Oliech’s boot was not evenly polished. It was not a good show in the 2nd half if his post-match register was to be revisited. Resolution Impala Saracens look good on paper. Having won 5 of 10 matches played, they go against a ‘relegation zone’ team which has only won 1 of 10. If composure is maintained and structure adhered to, we could be in for an exciting score by the evening, better than last weekend.
The Team
Forwards:
Javan Obino’s consistency plants him at prop. Dan Ndome sits on the bench, paving way for Kelvins Munene at hooker. Waithumbi Martin receives a second nod at prop after his superb performance against Machine. Locks Paul Oimbo and Oundu Davies merely swap jersey numbers. Oimbo grabs 4 while Oundu wears number 5. Felix Okari retains his blindside flanker jersey. Mtalaheri Mathew comes in for last week’s Man of the Match – Tyson Okoth at open side flanker. Joel Omer continues at 8th man. He doubles up as Captain for the day.
