The United States International University – Africa (USIU-A) Martials have shifted their focus to the Mwamba Cup after a disastrous start to the KRU Championship.

USIU-A Martials have lost all their opening three games in the second-tier league.

Coach Tom Lagat said, “We have had a bad start, losing all three games. However, we have reviewed our performances and corrected the key areas. Our focus now shifts fully to the Mwamba Cup.”

USIU-A Martials will on Saturday host Kabarak University at USIU Grounds in the Mwamba Cup round of 16 encounter.

“Against Kabarak, we expect a much sharper, more disciplined performance. The boys are hungry to bounce back and show the quality we know they have,” said Lagat.

He added: “Our target in this competition is simple: compete strongly, take one game at a time, and push as far as possible.”

Kisii Rugby has qualified for the quarter finals without kicking the ball after their opponents, Stallions, pulled out of the competition. Kisii Rugby chairman Bob Onchong’a said: “Our opponents, Stallions, have informed us that they will not honour the game.”

Mombasa RFC will host the University of Eldoret’s Trojans at Mombasa Sports Club, while KRU Champions side National Youth Service (NYS) Spades host Sigalagala National Polytechnic at NYS Headquarters in Nairobi.

University of Nairobi’s Mean Machine welcome Administration Police Warriors at UoN grounds as Western Bulls host Kenya Coast National Polytechnic at the Bull Ring in Kakamega.

At Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) Main Campus, there will be a clash between the hosts, JKUAT Cougars, against TUM Marines.
