The Mwamba Cup semi finals sees the Resolution Impala Saracens (Boks) host Kenya Harlequins II. The Sarries beat COMRAS 39-10 as the Quins Arturos got a 28-7 win over the KCB Cubs.
Director of Rugby Fred Ollows on naming the side reckoned, “All matches versus Quins, at whatever level, raise attention at the Club. The preparation has been quite good. The team is rearing to go”
Onsongo Nyamwaya, Jimmy Mwangi and Hosea Ngesa start at the front row, Stephen Ayora and Bakata Elisapana will be lock partners. Edwin Gatungo and Erick Kopondo form the flanker duo as Rainer Omondi completes the Boks pack.
The nimble Ian Mabwa will be pulling the base strings at scrum half alongside Xavier Kipng’etich who’s at fly half. Jeremy Mwambu partners his cousin Sidney Muniafu at centre. Richard Sidindi starts at the left wing, Douglas Ochako at right wing and Timothy Makiya at full back.
The match kicks off at 2:00PM as a curtain raiser for the Enterprise Cup semi final of KCB vs Pan African Strathmore Leos which will kick off at 4:00PM.
