Revealed! Collins Injera hailed for excellent pitch leadership

 Coach Kevin Wambua of Mwamba Rugby Football Club, has hailed the impact of Kenya Sevens’ star Collins Injera as they aim for the Kenya Cup play-offs at the end of the season. Wambua said he is delighted with Injera’s performance in recent matches. “He has shown leadership on and off the pitch and is creating and scoring tries for his teammates,” he added. Wambua said they were aiming for higher seeding and believes they can overtake Nondies who are in fourth on the log. “We have momentum. Apart from the Kabras defeat, we are playing well and can improve for the remainder of the season,” he noted.

Injera scored a hat-trick in their 26-13 win over Blak Blad over the weekend, a result that leaves them fifth on the log with 27 points one point behind fourth placed Nondies and four adrift of third-placed Quins.

Mwamba lost their opening three fixtures but have bounced back winning the next five out of six games to move up the log. “Everyone had written us off in the early part of the season but the boys have shown character to get back to winning ways,” he added. Wambua said the race for the playoffs will be tough with Nondies , Mwamba, Homeboyz and Impala chasing the three available spots. “ I think it will go down to the last game of the group phase. It’s quite competitive between the four teams and the margin for error is small.”
