Top of the table Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) will be extending their leadership when they face Nondescripts as Kenya Cup enters its eighth Day tomorrow.
The unbeaten KCB together with Sugar Millers Kabras Sugar will all be seeking their dominance in the rugby15s aside as KCB are favourites against Nondescripts at KCB Sports Club.
Kabras Sugar will host Homeboyz in western Derby at Kakamega Showground. Homeboyz, who are enjoying a 4-3 record against Charles Cardovillis’s side, will be out to avenge their 22-17 loss to the sugar millers in last year’s Kenya Cup semi-finals at Jamhuri Park show ground.
Homeboyz head coach Paul “Pau” Murunga has opted to stick to the side that beat Mwamba 29-14 in their last outing.
Cardovillis is aware of the kind of battle the Deejays will spin in Kakamega hence his intend to tighten the set pieces just like they did against Impala Saracens, a match the sugar millers won 33-17 last weekend.
Kabras are currently placed second with 33 points and are unbeaten in seven outings.
Third-placed Homeboyz have 29 points, having only suffered one loss to champions Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) 26-6. The Deejays have along the way claimed the scalp of big wigs like Quins (41-39), Impala (39-21), Nakuru (23-16) and Mwamba (29-14).
Kenya Harlequins are expect an easy sail against visiting Mombasa at the RFUEA.
A cracker is in the offing between Blak Blad and Impala Saracens, who hope to bounce back from the defeat to Kabras, at Kenyatta University while Strathmore Leos host Nakuru at USIU and Kisii host Mwamba in Kisii.
