It’s semifinal Saturday in the Kenya Cup, with two highly anticipated matches set to determine which teams will advance to the final.
Defending champions Kabras Sugar will face off against 17-time champions Nondescripts at the Kakamega Showground.
Kabras Sugar, having dominated the regular season with flawless performances, enter the match as clear favorites. Led by Ntabeni Dukisa and George Nyambua, they will rely on their explosive start and physicality to secure a spot in the final.
However, Nondies, led by captain Steve Odhiambo, have surprised many with their resilience and determination. They will need to dig deep to challenge the defending champions and secure their first-ever Kenya Cup final berth.
In Nairobi, KCB will take on Menengai Oilers at Ruaraka.
This matchup promises intense competition, with both teams eager to secure a spot in the final. KCB holds the edge in semifinal encounters against the Oilers historically, but the Oilers will be determined to turn the tide this time around.
The battle between scrumhalves Samuel Asati of KCB and Samson Onsomu of the Oilers will be crucial in shaping the outcome of the match.
Meanwhile, the race for Kenya Cup qualification concludes this weekend with the KRU Championship semifinals. South Coast Pirates will host Daystar Falcons in Diani, while Impala will face Masinde Muliro in Kakamega.
Both matches are expected to be highly competitive, with the winners securing their places in the top tier of Kenyan rugby.
