Mwamba RFC have unveiled a formidable squad headlined by Kenya lionesses star Janet Okello ahead of their Kenya Cup Women’s Final showdown against Quins Queens.
The reigning champions will host Quins Queens on Saturday at the Goan Institute from 2PM, with Mwamba chasing an unprecedented fifth consecutive title, while their opponents seek to make history by clinching their maiden crown.
Okello, one of Kenya’s most lethal backs, will be central to Mwamba’s ambitions, bringing her trademark pace, vision, and big-game experience to the decisive clash as she starts at fallback.
Head coach Joseph Babu has maintained faith in the core of his title-winning side picking Rose Otieno, Stacy Atieno, and Natasha Emali to lead the lack at frontrow. The trio are supported by the industrious Naomi Jelagat, Brendah Kageha, and Mercy Khatenje, ensuring Mwamba remain competitive in the tight exchanges.
In the backs, experienced Edith Nariaka and Sinaida Mokaya marshal play from the half positions, while the midfield combination of Laureen Akoth and Faith Livoi offers both creativity and defensive solidity. Out wide, Irene Apiyo and Beatrice Osimbo have been tasked with the hunt for tries on the wings.
Mwamba’s bench also boasts depth, with impact players such as Ivonne Khatundu, Madonna Onyango, and Claudia Muhavi ready to influence the game when called upon.
However, Mwamba will be cautious of a resilient Quins Queens side, whose impressive run to the final signals their readiness to challenge the established order.
