Weekend Games

Kenya Cup Week 4 and the action starts today, Friday 03 July. Impala host H2O Mwamba under floodlights from 7.30 p.m. Tomorrow sees Nondies host KCB, Quins host Machine, whilst Strathmore will host Nakuru at Impala. I can already see the clubs are taking facility sharing a bit more seriously than others. I have my reservations as to the quality of lighting at the Impala pitch, but then again I'm not playing, nor coaching any of the sides playing. And that alone could give good home ground advantage to Impala as they are used to training under such conditions (ok, some clubs train in pitch dark!!).

The thriller of the week will be that particular match. With Mwamba fielding its 7's stars who make tries out of nothing and Impala losing some of its starts to the 15's team, it seems like a mouth watering, high scoring match. My call..eh eh.. Impala by 5. KCB will now face the Nondies challenge. I think with four key players missing in the Nondies set up it will be mighty hard for them to hold up as they have done. I will give KCB a bonus point victory. With Quins missing seven players, mainly pack players, their dominance in that area will be dimmed. Their backs are not really dangerous and will suffer under the free flowing balls from the Machine (B2B, smile..). However, I still give them the game, but by a score. Nakuru will continue the education of Strathmore with a bonus point victory.

Do have a good weekend. Scores here after the games.
