KCB RFC buoyant ahead of Enterprise Cup quarterfinals
KCB RFC takes on Northern Suburbs at the Lions Den this afternoon
KCB RFC head coach Curtis Olago has expressed his confidence with his charges ahead of this afternoon's Enterprise Cup quarterfinal duel against Northern Suburbs.
The bankers are convinced that they will go all the way to the finals and clinch the Enterprise Cup, a title they last won in 2017. Last year, they reached the finals but lost to their arch-rivals.
“I am confident that the boys are ready to win this quarterfinal encounter against a team we know very well. They have been sensational, we respect them and their quality but we want to demonstrate that we are a force to be reckoned with. Our intention is to win this Cup,” noted KCB RFC coach Curtis Olago.
