Unbeaten Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) and Kabras Sugar will take on Kenya Harlequins and Impala Saracens respectively as kenya Cup rugby15s takes centre stage this weekend.
The reigning champions, currently leading the table, will be working their way to the top if they beat the visiting Quins at KCB Sports Club at 4pm.
Quins last weekend suffered the 10-8 home defeat to visitors Resolution Impala Saracens at the RFUEA in a Ngong Road derby while KCB beat Mwamba RFC 27-15 last weekend.
These two sides last faced off at this venue in last season’s Kenya Cup semifinal, KCB shading it 19-12 to reach the final.
Sugar millers Kabras will take on Impala Saracens at the Impala Club. The hosts ended a thirty eight month wait for Ngong Road derby success in the Kenya Cup and they again come into this fixture looking to end a string of four consecutive league defeats against Kabras.
Nondescripts will get the day’s action underway when they play Resolution Kisii in the day’s early kick off at the Jamhuri Park.
This match will pave way for the Menengai Cream Homeboyz – Stanbic Mwamba clash at 4.00pm at the same venue. Homeboyz welcome ninth placed Mwamba to the Jamhuri Park looking to keep up the pressure on the leading trio of KCB, Kabras Sugar and Resolution Impala Saracens. The deejays won on the road,posting a 23-16 win away to hostsTop Fry Nakuru while Mwamba fell to a 27-15 home defeat to KCB.
The varsity clash between sixth placed Strathmore Leos and eighth placed Blak Blad is one not to miss. The Leos come into this clash looking to set the record straight against a Blad side that owned them last season, completing the home and away double but Blad will surely be out to maintain the status quo. Regional Logistics Mombasa are at home to Top Fry Nakuru at the Mombasa Sports Club.
