KRU Championship leaders Strathmore Leos coach Louis Kisia believes his team can go the entire season unbeaten.<\/p>\n
\u201cGoing the entire season unbeaten is achievable. The players are set and ready. We have to return to Kenya Cup next season,\u201d said a buoyant Kisia.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the team\u2019s 36-7 win over Egerton Wasps at home, Kisia said his players\u2019 experience in playing in Kenya Cup has come in handy. \u201cThis team has been in Kenya Cup for 13 straight years and most of the players have been part of the journey. The experience has helped us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Commenting on their game against Wasps, he said his side would have won by a bigger margin but his players failed to execute their chances.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was not a bad start considering this is the first game of the year after the Christmas break. We picked up from where we left last year but my players squandered several try scoring opportunities,\u201d said the former Mwamba assistant coach and player.<\/p>\n
He confirmed the exit of Dennis Juma, Carl Odhiambo, Albert Obura and Boutrous Masicha. He said the club did not sign any player in the mid-season window.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe shall have one week trials later this month to pick some players. Those successful will, however,\u00a0 play for us during the 7\u2019s series,\u201d noted Kisia.<\/p>\n
Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology also continued with their winning ways, edging hosts Mombasa RFC 33-3 at Mombasa Sports Club.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite travel challenges, the boys were focused on the game. Our opponents were good but we showed character,\u201d said MMUST assistant coach John Asila. He added: \u201cWe want to keep improving with every game.\u201d<\/p>\n
