JKUAT Cougars have named their matchday squad for the Impala Floodlit final against USIU Martial slated for Impala Club at 10:30 a.m.
Their coach has kept faith in the majority of the charges, maintaining consistency in key positions as the Cougars look to close their campaign on a high.
JKUAT Cougars tight five
Front row pair Ndung’u Roy and Bonnke Mwangi retain their starting spots, joined by Isaac Wekulo, who steps in after coming off the bench last weekend.
The second row features Elias Liyala Janai and skipper Houstone Omondi, while Powell Otolo, Shaddy Odhiambo, and vice-captain Clyde Nyayoto form a familiar back row combination.

The half-back partnership remains unchanged with Edwin Mageto and Smith Muhoya directing play, while Jeff Ojuok and Godfrey Namamba continue their midfield pairing.
Out wide, Karl Omito joins Fanuel Indeche and Masinga Ooko, who retains his vice-captain role and full-back duties.
Among the replacements, Sammy Hongo, Philip Macharia, and Victor Mureira will provide cover in the forwards, while Robert Manyara, Sammy Odhiambo, and Zaddock Muia are named to impact from the bench. Denvine Otieno and Eric Muru, who featured last weekend, miss out this time round.
The technical bench remains unchanged, with Isabella Fanny Atieno assisted by Team Manager Andrew Muthiani, and the medical team comprising Francis Munyao, Lizzy Atieno, and Elsie Okisa.
JKUAT Cougars will be hoping their settled squad can deliver one more strong performance to clinch the Impala Floodlit crown.
