The former National Sevens circuit champions suffered an injury blow but have received good news as they seek to bounce back in Nakuru this weekend

KCB RFC have been burning the midnight oil as they seek to bounce back to winning ways at the Prinsloo Sevens scheduled for this weekend in Nakuru.

The former National Sevens circuit champions started their campaign on a high, winning the Dala Sevens before faltering at the Driftwood Sevens to finish third.

Coach Andrew Amonde noted that they have been working around the clock to ensure everything is on course and so far, things are looking up.

Our preparations have been good from the last time we were here as a team. We have been trying to correct some of the things that didn’t go well for us in Mombasa. That has been our main focus for the last four weeks," Amonde said.

"There has been a lot of intense training to just get the boys to the level of fitness that is required. I believe we have done our best as a team and we are ready to go to Prinsloo." 

Amonde has pointed out that their major undoing was ball retention, set plays and execution which they have been working on. 

"The biggest thing is knowing how to retain the ball, playing well in our set plays, being convincing when we play, and executing the game well…that’s what cost us in Mombasa. We went back to the drawing board and talked to the boys and they took everything positively," he added. 

KCB are set to be without experienced Jacob Ojee in the next two legs but have been boosted by the return of winger Geoffrey Okwach and Michael Wanjala.

We have to consider them and see if they will be able to fit in and give us what we want,” said Amonde.
