KRU set dates for 92 year-old Enterprise Cup

The overworking Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) have set 2022 Enterprise Cup to be played across twenty-two days spanning March through to April. 

The tournament will begin at the round of sixteen stage on 19th March 2022 and culminate in the finals penciled for 9th April

“This year’s Enterprise Cup will kick off on Saturday 19 March with action in the round of 16 with the final set to take place on Saturday 9 April. The second tier Mwamba Cup will run concurrently,” a statement from KRU said

Defending Enterprise Cup champions Kabras Sugar will start their campaign with a round of 16 clash at home to Mean Machine while 2019 losing finalists Resolution Impala Saracens take on Menengai Oilers.

Other round of 16 clashes will see Nondescripts against Western Bulls, Kenya Harlequin v Homeboyz, Mwamba v Kisumu, Topfry Nakuru v Masinde Muliro, KCB v Strathmore Leos, Blak Blad v Mombasa.

The Enterprise Cup was donated by sailors from HMS Enterprise, who had toured British East Africa in 1928 and has been played every year since 1930.

The only years in which the competition has not been played is between 1940–1946 due to World War II, in 1987 because of the All Africa Games and 2020 and 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
