Former champion Kenya Police and Wazalendo men’s teams have a lot to play for when they take on Sailors and USIU-A respectively at the City Park Stadium.
Interestingly, both teams are joint-second on the standings with 14 points from seven matches and even they all win their matches, they will still trail leaders Butali Warriors by a point.
Wazalendo coach Fidelis Kimanzi said USIU-A is a good side if their previous encounters are anything to go by.
He said: “They beat us twice last season and at the same time had a good performance in the recently concluded Astro-Turf tournament. They cannot be underrated. However, we have done our homework well and we are looking at collecting maximum points against them.”
He added: “Luckily, we have four of our players who have been training with the national team back and their availability is a plus. We are tied with Police on the same points and we want to push and see how this will pan out but generally, there is a side that will falter along the way and we hope it will not be us.”
Wazalendo players in the national team are Ken Munialo, John Rioba, Danston Baraza and Richard Njuki
