They responded strongly in the third-place playoff, defeating Menengai Oilers to secure bronze, their highest finish of the campaign.##NAJAVA_MECA_9936834##According to coach Bosire, managing player workload and giving players sufficient time to recover has allowed the squad to remain competitive, despite injuries and player unavailability.“We are giving our players ample time to recover. At Driftwood, we made four changes from the previous tournament. Patrick Odongo was nursing an injury, Paul Murwa was also carrying an injury, while Nathan Tsindoli had a funeral to attend,” he said. “Several players were therefore unavailable in Mombasa, but that allowed other players to step up.” Embu 7s: KCB and Kabras renew title battle as Strathmore seek to defend crownThe rotation has also provided an opportunity for players returning from injury to gradually work their way back into the team.Halfback Eddy Wambugu and Chris Obuya returned at the Kabeberi 7s after recovering from their respective injuries, while Clinton Ambukwachi was also back in the squad after missing time.The coach admitted the returning players are still building their match fitness but has been encouraged by their contribution, particularly in Mombasa.Kenya Simbas back-rower joins French club“Eddy Wambugu and Chris Obuya returned during Kabeberi after recovering from their injuries. Of course, they are still working on their match fitness and are not yet at 100 per cent, but I am happy with the way they are playing. With their contribution in Mombasa, we managed to finish third, and I believe they will be very crucial to us in these final two legs,” he averred.The return of key players could prove valuable as Falcons look to maintain their quarterfinal streak and potentially improve on their Mombasa finish as they head to the Embu 7s slated for Saturday, 4, to Sunday, 5 September at the Embu Stadium.They have been drawn in Pool D alongside fellow university side Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST), Mwamba RFC and Zetech Oaks.Brian Tanga opens up on balancing fatherhood with demanding rugby scheduleThe coach expects a demanding pool, particularly given the presence of three varsity sides, and has warned his charges against looking beyond their opening fixture.“I have seen the pools for Embu 7s. It is a university pool, and varsity derbies are always tough. We will take it one game at a time because you cannot plan for the third game before finishing the first and second,” he said.Despite their impressive consistency, Falcons are not taking any of their opponents lightly.“We will not underestimate any opponent. All the teams in the pool have played very well, so it is a tough pool. We have to approach every match with the seriousness it deserves,” he concluded.
