KCB Sevens coach Denis Mwanja is hopeful the club’s new signings will play a pivotal role in their quest to clinch a third National Sevens Circuit title when this year’s tournament kicks off in Kakamega this weekend.

KCB, who claimed back to back National Sevens Circuit titles in 2013 and 2014, have so far confirmed the acquisition of four players, their notable signings being fly-half Johnstone Olindi and forward Shadon Munoko.
