On Saturday, 21 February, the Falcons stunned Kenya Harlequin 30-23 in a muddy and bruising encounter at the Ngong Racecourse.
The victory marked their fourth consecutive triumph, following hard-fought wins over Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology RFC (20-19), Kisumu RFC (41-28), and Nakuru RFC (35-20).

For Bosire, the turnaround has been anchored on one simple but powerful principle: belief.
“Victory is sweet. It was a tough game, but we managed to get the result. A win is a win, and I’m very happy,” Bosire told Mozzart Sport.
Daystar are competing in their first-ever Kenya Cup season, and their squad is largely composed of fresh faces experiencing top-flight rugby for the first time.
“The key has simply been belief. We have a very young squad, and this is our first season in the Kenya Cup. Most of these players are featuring in the competition for the first time, apart from maybe one or two, with many coming straight from high school,” Bosire explained.

Rather than burdening the youngsters with pressure, the technical bench has focused on growth and learning.
“Our goal is to challenge them to grow, perform better, and develop into stronger players. We are committed to imparting knowledge and supporting them so they can excel in the sport,” Bosire explained.
The Falcons’ campaign did not begin on a high note. Opening fixtures against heavyweights Oilers, KCB, and Kabras last year proved unforgiving, yielding neither a win nor a bonus point.
Bosire admitted that patience was key during that difficult stretch.
“The boys know I insist on patience. Our opening matches against Oilers, KCB, and Kabras were extremely tough,” he said.
In January, the team was in their Athi River campus for a two-week training camp that proved pivotal. However, it was the subsequent loss to Impala RFC that truly jolted the squad into action.
“The loss to Impala served as a major wake-up call because the boys had assumed it would be easier,” Bosire said.
That defeat sparked an honest internal reckoning.

“After that, they held an honest conversation among themselves, and since then, we’ve managed to register four wins. It has taken grit and resilience,” he noted.
Unlike dominant sides that blow opponents away, the Falcons have built their streak on narrow, hard-earned margins.
“None of the victories have come easily; we edged MMUST by a single point, won here by seven, secured a bigger margin against Nakuru and Kisumu, and again here by seven.
The matches are getting tighter as we approach the business end of the league,” the tactician pointed out.
Bosire also pointed to game management as an area that previously cost them, particularly in their clash against Quins, where they squandered a healthy lead.
“Game management cost us against Quins. We had built a healthy lead but ended up conceding three tries due to their smart play and decision-making,” he averred.
The Falcons will be keen to carry that energy forward when they face Kenyatta University’s Blak Blad on Saturday, 28 February.
