KCB RFC head coach Curtis Olago is already looking forward to a successful 2022/23 Kenya Cup season ahead of the November kick-off.
Olago, who spearheaded his charges to the 2021/22 Kenya Cup semi-finals and Enterprise Cup final, reckons that the bankers have sufficient time to prepare for the new season.
Commenting on the 2022/2023 Kenya Cup season at Ruaraka, Olago said: “We are in pre-season, and as a club we are taking everything in stride. We want to concentrate on what we did not do well last season department-wise and work on tightening the loose ends before the season begins."
KCB bowed out of the 2021/22 Kenya Cup title race at the semi-finals stage. The bankers also lost in the Enterprise Cup final last season. Olago said the team picked up vital lessons last season.
"We have now re-grouped as a team and we now know exactly where we went wrong. We have moved on and the coming season provides us with an opportunity to remind everyone that KCB RFC are the club to watch," said Olago while daring opponents to bring it on.
In April, the skipper alongside other members of the KCB RFC technical bench including Andrew Amonde, Mariko Mushilla, Brian Otieno and Brian Omondi attended a technical preparation and coaching training at the High-Performance Centre in Cape Town, South Africa.
Samuel Asati, one of the players also expressed his confidence towards bagging the cup in the coming season.
He said they have enough time to train and explore the new structure from South Africa.
"Training is okay because we have enough time. We are at a better place because of the new structure from South Africa. The Floodlights and Safari Sevens will usher us to the new season," he said. Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) is yet to release the 2022/2023 Kenya Cup fixtures.
