Defending champions Kabras Sugar II will face Impala Saracens II in the Mwamba Cup semifinals after easily sailing through the quarterfinals staged over the weekend.
Kabras made the semis without kicking a ball for the second time in a row after Mwamba handed them a walkover while Impala thrashed Nakuru 34-15 at Nakuru Athletic Club to qualify for the semis.
Speaking to Standard Sports, Kabras head coach Henley Du Plessis warned his players to expect a tougher semifinal against Impala II, who have already beaten them during the regular Eric Shirley Shield (ESS) cup.
He added that they are taking the Mwamba Cup seriously and are focused on winning every cup competition they take part in this season.
“Impala are a very tricky side that has a strong youth foundation climbing through the ranks and they showed that during the ESS Cup competition. We have to be precise and clinical to get to the finals and that can only be achieved through training and hard work especially after missing the two games through walkover,” said Du Plessis.
