Wamalwa featured on the flanks against Menengai Oilers following his return from an ACL tear, while Shiasi was made to work hard on the other flank as KCB booked a Kenya Cup final place.
“You have to mark the steps of growth each minute, day by day, and do not rush things. You have to go process by process and believe in yourself.”
Meanwhile, the KCB vice-captain is hungry to take the Kenya Cup trophy back to Ruaraka when they face Kabras at the final in Kakamega.
“There has been drought at the den for quite some time, so going there, we have the goal of showing gratitude to the sponsor by bringing the trophy back to them.”
KCB and Kabras have dominated the Kenya Cup in the last eight years, Curtis Olago’s men winning five titles over that period, including four straight between 2017 and 2021.
