KCB Rugby club are hoping to defend their Kabeberi 7s, the third leg of National Sevens Circuit set for August 15 – 16 at at the RFUEA Grounds in Nairobi.
Sitting second on the 7s table after two legs- Prinsloo and Dala- the defending champions are looking to retain their title as the competition enters its third leg.
Kabeberi Sevens promises to be another closely fought contest following an unpredictable start to the 2026 National Sevens Circuit.
KCB Rugby won the opening Prinsloo Sevens, beating Kabras Sugar 19 – 12 in the final in Nakuru, before Kabras bounced back in Kisumu, defeating Menengai Oilers 17 – 5 to claim the Dala Sevens title.
The results have seen two different winners emerge from the opening two legs, setting up an intriguing battle as the circuit heads to Nairobi.
KCB will have additional motivation at Kabeberi, having won the 2025 Kabeberi Sevens title after defeating Daystar Falcons in the final on September 7, 2025, at the RFUEA Grounds in Nairobi.
The reigning champions will be seeking to defend a title they have dominated in recent years, having won each of the past four editions since 2022. They will also be chasing their second title of the 2026 circuit after their successful start at Prinsloo.
However, they face strong competition from Kabras Sugar, who come into Kabeberi as the reigning Dala Sevens champions, as well as Menengai Oilers, Strathmore Leos, Kenya Harlequin and Daystar Falcons.
Kabeberi Sevens will be the third leg of the six-round 2026 National Sevens Circuit, following Prinsloo and Dala Sevens.
The circuit will then move to Driftwood Sevens in Mombasa on August 22 – 23, followed by Embu Sevens on September 5 – 6, before concluding with Christie Sevens in Nairobi on September 12 – 13
