Strathmore Leos have unveiled their matchday squad ahead of their Kenya Cup clash against Impala RFC this weekend at Impala Grounds on Saturday at 4:00 p.m.
The Leos will be led by Ian Masheti and Arnold Muita as co-captains, with the duo expected to drive intensity both in the pack and backline when they step onto the pitch.
Strathmore will rely on the front row of Ian Masheti, Maxwell Atera and Jack Angawa to set the platform, while the second row of Thomas Opio and Stanslaus Shikoli brings height and power in the second row.
The back row trio of Duke Odenyo, Samuel Wafula and Barnabas Owuor complete the starting eight.

Strathmore have named a strong replacements bench featuring Dennis Tubei, Raymond Chacha, Adenya Nyandusi, Jayden Oyier, Charles Onyisi, Daryl Wendo, David Kododa and Cedric Sangwa, ensuring cover across the park.
