Kenya Harlequins will host Impala Saracens at RFUEA Ground this Saturday in a Ngong Road derby as leaders Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) and defending champions KCB will be hosted by Mwamba RFC who lie ninth on the log as Kenya Cup Rugby enters the sixth fixture.
The dominant Quins have won all the recent five matches against their neighbours in the last seven ties while Impala has won only once way back in 2014 with a 33-22 scoreline at the RFUEA Grounds.
After that, the closest Impala has come to a win was a 25-23 scoreline in January 2016.
Hosts Quins come into this fixture sitting fifth on the log with 17 points from three wins and two losses in their five outings to date while visiting Impala are third on 20 points, this coming off four wins and a solitary defeat.
The two sides had different results last weekend, Quins going down 13-22 away to Kabras Sugar in Kakamega while the Sarries ran riot in a 77-0 demolition of visiting Kisii at the Impala Club.
Unbeaten KCB who last weekend beat Homeboyz will pray that the era continues all season and will be out to make it six wins from six against a Mwamba side that posted their first win of the season in emphatic fashion with a 74-3 crushing of Mombasa at the same venue.
Seventh placed Nakuru are up against fourth placed Homeboyz at the Nakuru Athletic Club.
The last time these sides met was on March 18 last year, Homeboyz inflicting a 44-17 mauling to the Wanyore at their revered home ground.
The Wanyore started the calendar year with a 26-6 win over Blak Blad last weekend while the deejays will be out to bounce back from last weekend’s defeat to KCB.
Other matches see sixth placed Nondescripts welcome second placed Kabras Sugar to the Jamhuri Park, Blak Blad hosting Kisii as Mombasa welcome the Strathmore Leos to the Mombasa Sports Club.
