All the other premier league teams have been given a break as the Mombasa-based teams play catch up.

Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) men and women's sides get back to league action on Saturday 18 March after close to two months of inactivity. 

The dockers are scheduled to take on University of Nairobi (UoN) sides Terror for the men and Dynamites in the women's league. 

Coach Sammy Kiki has had his players in camp for three days and maintains that while fitness might be a challenge they are in a better place.

"We have been in training for three days and the team's fitness level has improved. It could still be a challenge but if we can play as a unit we can work a way around the weekend matches and bag wins," Kiki offered. 

Three players, including the high-scoring Job Byron and centre player Nick Ogol, have however, not had a chnace to train with the team due to work commitments but ate available for selection having linked up with the squad on Saturday morning. 

Kiki will also miss the services of forward Martin Kitong'o but remains confident he had depth to cover for his absence. 

Terror, who lost to the dockers in the first leg will hope to cause an upset, probably reading from the script off of their recent match against Equity Dumas. 

Meanwhile, the women's league will be a case of David versus Goliath as Dynamites who have lost seven of their 18 matches so far take on the unbeaten KPA Ladies.

The Antony Ojukwu-led dockers are expected to little opposition from the varsity side as they work on finishing the regular league top and without dropping points.
