Impala, Mwamba battle for inaugural Women Kenya Cup title

Following a gruelling season, the inaugural Women Kenya Cup draws its curtains on Saturday 19 March with Yamanashi Impala and Mwamba RFC fighting for the title in the final.

Impala have had a spectacular season unlike their male counterparts after going the whole season unbeaten and failed to drop a single point having registered five straight victories.

Mwamba’s form will also draw some envy from their men’s side after they suffered only a single loss all campaign that came against their foes in the final, Impala.

Maria Otieno’s charges have enjoyed an impeccable season, bamboozling teams as they possessed the meanest defence and the most fluid attack.

Impala let in only 10 points the entire season and were devastating on the attack having rucked up an astronomical 239 points.

It comes as no surprise that Impala possesses the top try scorer in the name of Stella Wafula but Mwamba have been notching the points from the trusted boot of Janet Okello.

The clash is slated for a 4:30 PM kick-off at the Impala Club.

Impala vs Menengai Oilers

This will be a clash between the latest losing finalists of the Kenya Cup and the Enterprise Cup with Menengai Oilers going into the clash as huge favourites owing to their exploits in the country’s premier rugby competition.

Resolution Impala Saracens, losing finalists in the 2019 Enterprise Cup will look to salvage their forgettable season that saw them suffer relegation after a paltry three wins the entire season.

Oilers head coach Gibson Weru revealed that he has preserved his big guns in the clash as he will bank on his largely comprised side of second-string players to get the job done.

"We've rested most of our key players but have given a chance to players who deserve the chance, players who have trained extremely well throughout the season and have raised their hands to be selected. We give Impala the respect they deserve but we will go all out," said Weru.

Impala vs Kiambu Rugby
