Nairobi — Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) RFC captain Griffin Musila has warned their opponents that the bankers are relentless in their pursuit for a first Kenya Cup crown since 2021.

Musila said they will continually approach every match ruthlessly and will not go easy on any of their opponents.

“The next step is to always go for the win…yeah, we are going to go hard. We appreciate all our opponents and we respect them a lot but we are always going to go harder against them,” Musila said.

The bankers remain unbeaten following their 36-11 win over the University of Strathmore Leos at their Ruaraka backyard on Saturday.

The match dubbed ‘Di Baddest derby’ — in honour of Jerry Olola who played for both teams — came to life within two minutes courtesy of a Peter Kilonzo try.

Two more tries from winger Austin Sikutwa and Musila gave the bankers a commanding 17-0 lead heading into the breather.

The second half saw the eight-time Kenya Cup champions extend their lead through Kolian Persinan and Brian Wahinya’s try, preceded by a penalty goal.

Dissecting the proceedings of the game, the skipper was gracious to give the students their flowers, noting they had given as much as they had received.

“The strategy was to just go hard on them because if you give your opponents the chance to come at you…like they did in the second half…you can see what happened. The strategy is to always go first and go hard,” he said.
