Commenting on the match after the final whistle KCB RFC coach Curtis Olago said the boys surpassed his expectations of the game.

“The boys picked up and executed a nice play securing us the win. We attribute our win to sheer hard work and a good game plan. As we meet Kabras next week, we expect nothing but a win on that match,” said the coach

On the other hand, Oilers head coach Gibson Weru, said the team has to seat and re-evaluate their game play having performed poorly against their opponents on their match day nine.

" They have to take responsibility for such a performance and put out a good play on our next match against Catholic Monks," said the coach

KCB RFC will be back in action on February 18th, 2023 against defending champions Kabras Sugar whereas Menengai oilers will be playing Catholic Monks at home.
