Host Embu is ready to make history this weekend as it hosts its first-ever leg of the National Sevens Circuit at the Njukiri Showground.
Local organisers have expressed confidence in their preparations, promising a well-run tournament and a great experience for players and fans alike.
The action comes just days after the Christie Sevens in Nairobi, where KCB Rugby defeated Menengai Oilers 17-5 in the final to clinch their eighth Christie title and their second trophy of the 2025 season, cementing their lead in the overall standings. Kabete Stallions claimed Division Two honours after brushing aside Makueni RFC 22-0, while Mwamba RFC were crowned women’s champions following a 14-5 win over Kenya Harlequins.
With their strong form, KCB headline Pool A in Embu alongside Daystar Falcons, Mwamba RFC, and hosts Embu RFC. Pool B sees Strathmore Leos drawn with Impala RFC, Kabras Sugar, and Division Two champions Kabete Stallions. Menengai Oilers lead Pool C, joined by Nakuru RFC, Nondescripts, and Mean Machine, who make their return to Division One rugby. Pool D features Kenya Harlequin, Catholic Monks, MMUST, and invitational side Zetech Oaks.
The National Sevens Circuit will continue after Embu with the Kabeberi Sevens and Dala Sevens, where the overall winner of the 2025 series will be crowned
