Impala RFC are looking forward to their ‘break’ as they play Mombasa RFC in the Kenya Cup today. Speaking to FeverPitch, Impala head coach Eric Situma claimed he had respect for all teams, but given their previous games, Mombasa is likely to be an easier fixture. Impala have lost heavily to Strathmore, Kenya Commercial Bank and Kabras Sugar in their previous three games and they are hoping they can turn the tide against Mombasa. “I know every team in Kenya Cup can upset others, but we hope given Mombasa’s previous run, we can plan better and win,” he said.
