Kakamega High Rugby Team Shows Impressive Fitness Post-Holiday

Kakamega High School rugby head coach Amos Wamanga has expressed satisfaction with his team’s fitness levels after the long school holidays, saying the players have returned in top shape ahead of the new season. Speaking to Citizen Digital, Wamanga credited the training camp held in November last year for laying a strong foundation, which he believes will be crucial when Term One Games kick off in early March. “I am very much impressed with the level of fitness among the players, They have come back looking sharp and raring to go and make the fans proud,” said Wamanga. The veteran tactician also welcomed the fact that most of last season’s squad has been retained, noting that familiarity within the team will be a major advantage. “We have a very strong team because most of the players have been together for a long time. They understand each other, which makes it easier for them to complement one another during matches,” he added. Despite the optimism, Wamanga expects a tougher season after Kakamega High lost in the regional semi-finals to eventual champions Vihiga High School last year. “The competition is expected to be very high because most top teams have strengthened their squads and will be bringing their A game. But we are ready for the challenge,” he said.
