Rugby: Kabras Sugar seek redemption against Strathmore Leos in Kenya Cup semis

Kabras Sugar will be seeking to bounce back to winning ways when they host Strathmore Leos in a kenya Cup semifinal to be played at the Kakamega Showgrounds on Saturday.

KCB ended the sugar millers’ unbeaten run in the league after defeating them 28-20 in the final round of the Kenya Cup regular season last weekend.

Kabras assistant coach Edwin Achayo has said they are not deterred by last weekend’s defeat.

Despite the defeat, Kabras still finished top with 50 points followed by the bankers on 49 points and in the process qualified for the semifinals, a stage Achayo said the club is keen to bounce back.

Speaking to the Standard Sports, Achayo said they have what it takes to compete at the top level.

“Losses are part of the game. No team goes looking for a loss but all teams realise the need to learn quickly from them and look forward to bouncing back. Disappointed is the word we would go for, not shaken,” said Achayo.

Kabras defeated the Strathmore 32-3 last month during the regular season in Kakamega, a feat Achayo said they are keen to replicate if not better.

“We played well during the first leg by not allowing them near our try line. We limited them to set pieces and we are going to use this game to rectify the mistakes we made against KCB last weekend,” said Achayo.
