• Lions in tricky pool for Driftwood

  Posted: October 16, 2008, 2:58 pm by KCBRFC

  The Lions find themselves in a tricky pool C when the Western Union National Sevens Circuit anchors in the coastal city of Mombasa for the  Driftwood Sevens. The Lions come up against the team they vanquished in the Prinsloo Quarter finals Kenya Harlequins. Other teams in the pool include the unpredictable Kenyatta University Blak Blad and hosts Mombasa SC.
   
  The Lions boasting a sprinkling of talent in the form of Collins Kimani, Jotham Yahuma, Benjamin Ojema and the steely experience of Kenya Sevens stalwart Dennis Mwanja will be out to improve on their semi final placing in Nakuru where they were narrowly beaten 19-24 by Impala in a tight semi final encounter.

• Cubs lose Grand Slam tie

  Posted: October 6, 2008, 1:09 pm by KCBRFC

  The Cubs lost 17-23 to Quins II in the PostaPay Grand Slam on
  Saturday, missing out on the Ksh 100,000 payout. Steve Matioli kicked
  the Cubs into the lead early in the game from a penalty. They would
  then concede two tries and a penatly that left them trailing 3-15 at
  half time.

  Second half subs Xavier Makuba and Walter Omole were behind a second
  half revival that saw the Cubs come within whiskers of the fat cheque
  when they rallied to lead 17-15 within minutes left on the ticker.

  The Cubs dominated the second half with structured play, forcing Quins
  onto the back foot. Matioli's second penalty reduced the deficit to
  6-15 before winger Curtis Katembo scored at the corner flag to bring
  the score to 11-15. More pressure from the Cubs forced Quins into yet
  another error. Matioli kicking over for 14-15.

  The Cubs were in the ascendancy when Matioli drilled over another
  penalty from a tight angle that saw the Cubs regain the lead at
  17-15.The controversial substitution of scrum half Billy Odhiambo at
  this stage saw them lose their momentum and composure.

  A moment of madness saw them concede a late penalty that swung the
  lead back to Quins 17-18 with three minutes to play. Flanker Ian
  Indimuli's attempted touch kick was charged down by the Quins players
  who scored the killer try right at the end.

  This defeat was a lesson in mental toughness and tactical awareness,
  something to build on for 2009.

  The 15's season has now taken a bow, paving way for the 7's circuit
  which kicks off with the Prinsloo Nakuru Sevens on the weekend of
  10/11 October 2008.
