Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Equity Bank’s coach Carey Oketch is banking on teamwork to make an impact in the Kenya National Basketball League (KNBL) this year.<\/p>\n

The tactician said Equity, who reached the play-off semis last year, is getting to the level where it can now rub shoulders with big boys.<\/p>\n

“We just need to prepare mentally, stay together and make each other accountable,” said Oketch.<\/p>\n

He added: “This is a very dangerous year for us and we have to be sharp and focused on the little details.”<\/p>\n

“The team’s training is going on well with new signings from Ulinzi Warriors. We have brought in Victor Bosire and James Mwangi on board and I believe they will bring in leadership in the playing unit,” Oketch said.<\/p>\n

The duo is expected to play a huge role when the soldiers come calling in the top tie as the league resumes at Nyayo Stadium gymnasium this weekend.<\/p>\n

“Mwangi and Bosire have brought maturity, focus and accountability to the whole organization. It’s a big plus,” he exuded.<\/p>\n

Equity Bank, who lost one game to Thunder, are lying sixth on the table with nine points from four wins.<\/p>\n

They have two tight matches this weekend. Besides playing Ulinzi, who are second, the bankers will also take on third-placed Africa Nazarene University (ANU) Wolfpacks in their second tie.<\/p>\n

But the varsity sides coach Mike Oluoch said his players have not shown up for training as the institution will open up for lessons next week.<\/p>\n

A total of six top-tier matches are on the card this weekend, four on Saturday and two on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The other fixtures will see Zetech University Sparks play Eagle Wings while Strathmore University Swords tackle Storms.<\/p>\n

Colins Gaya’s Thunder, who inflicted Equity Banks’ only loss, have a date with debutants Zetech University Titans.<\/p>\n
