KCB Rugby are confident of bouncing back when the Kabeberi Sevens gets underway this weekend, but they face a difficult challenge against National Sevens Circuit leaders Kabras Sugar in a tough Pool D.
The bankers, who are chasing a record sixth straight Kabeberi Sevens title, will need a strong showing after a disappointing performance in the previous leg of the circuit.
KCB are second in the SportPesa National Sevens Circuit standings with 35 points after two legs, while Kabras lead the race on 41 points. The six-leg series will run until September, making every point important in the battle for the overall title.
KCB head coach Andrew Amonde believes his players are ready to respond.
“We know what is expected of us at Kabeberi. It is a tournament we have dominated for several years, and we want to get back to our best,” said Amonde.
He admitted that the draw had handed them a difficult task but said the team was prepared for the challenge.
