Definitely, we have to balance the squad and ensure everyone is fit and firing on all cylinders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wanyaga will rely on Elisha Koronya, Boniface Amimo, Hillary Baraza and Charles Omondi in the forward pack, while Iam Mumbwani, Kevin Sheunda and Tony Fidens will be key in the backline. The winner of the clash will face either defending champions Kabras Sugar RFC or Menengai Oilers in the final set for May 23 at the RFUEA Grounds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Kenya<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
