Kenya Harlequins Update 5th April 2006

The Season kicks off this weekend with both Kenya Cup and Eric Shirley Shield matches. In the Kenya Cup we face Mean Machine while in the Eric Shirley we lock horns with Mombasa who will be making their first appearance in the city. Both games are at home at 3pm and 4-30pm respectively.

Quins will be aiming to reclaim the Kenya Cup which they last won in 2003. Last year all seemed in the bag until a second half collapse saw Quins barely make it to the semis and then edged out by Impala. This year is definitely one that Quins will be hoping to make amends. As for the Eric Shirley, it has been a while since that trophy was on our shelves. This could be as far back as 1999. The personnel are in place this year and are rearing to go. With Quins as usual setting the standards, all other teams play Quins as if their lives depended on the contest with Quins. Good luck to both sides.

On the administrative side the membership categories are now out and we ask our faithful irrespective of gender to support the club by registering as a member of Quins. Identify with Quins and be proud to be a Quin. Think PMQ meaning People Make Quins. Overseas members are part and parcel and are encouraged to join in. Membership renewable on an annual basis. Membership forms will be available at the club and shortly online but payments can be received.

NB: *Junior Members under 18 years of age qualify as Sure Members
