Nondies, Quins, Nakuru seek redemption as Kenya Cup enters week eight

After a brief pause for the Enterprise Cup quarterfinals, the Kenya Cup returns with six thrilling encounters slated for various venues nationwide.

With the league heading towards its decisive stages, teams will be keen to secure crucial points to either bolster their title ambitions or fight off relegation fears.

Oilers Host Impala in Nakuru

Menengai Oilers will welcome Impala RFC at Nakuru ASK Grounds in a match that promises fireworks.

The last time these two sides met was during the Impala Floodlights final on November 2, 2024, where Oilers demolished their hosts 42-3.

The Oilers remain unbeaten this season and will be eager to extend their dominance, especially after a two-week rest.

Their last Kenya Cup fixture saw them register a commanding 38-16 win over Kenya Harlequin before receiving a walkover from Homeboyz RFC in the Enterprise Cup quarterfinals.

Impala RFC, on the other hand, are looking for redemption after a narrow 21-16 defeat to Strathmore Leos. The Gazelles will be keen to turn their fortunes around against the formidable Oilers.

Nondies face unbeaten KCB

At Ngong Racecourse, Nondies RFC will battle KCB Rugby as they seek to bounce back from their first loss of the season—a 35-24 defeat to Menengai Oilers.

The Red Lions will be determined to prove that the setback was a mere bump in their campaign.

However, they face a stern test against KCB, a side that remains unbeaten this season.

The Bankers, who are in a fierce race with Kabras RFC for top honors, will be looking to maintain their perfect record and extend their dominance in the competition.

Blak Blad eye win against Pirates

Blak Blad will be desperate to turn their season around when they host South Coast Pirates at Kenyatta University Grounds. The students have struggled, losing all their matches in 2025, including a heavy 65-6 defeat to defending champions Kabras RFC.

Pirates, meanwhile, will be buoyed by their 17-0 victory over Nakuru RFC in week seven. The coastal side, which has now won twice this season, will be aiming to add another victory to pull further away from the relegation zone.

Relegation-battling Nakuru host Kisumu RFC

Nakuru RFC, currently at the bottom of the standings, will face Kisumu RFC in a must-win fixture at Nakuru Athletic Club.

Wanyore have endured a torrid season without a single victory to their name.

However, with the recent acquisition of former Kenya 7s star Oscar Ouma and a Ksh. 2.5 million sponsorship boost, they will be looking to finally get their campaign on track.

Mwamba seek redemption against Strathmore Leos

Mwamba RFC will be on a mission to recover from their disappointing loss to Kisumu RFC when they take on Strathmore Leos at KCB Sports Club.

The Blackshirts, fresh from a fundraiser, will be looking to justify their supporters' faith with a positive result.

Strathmore Leos, on the other hand, will enter the match full of confidence following their victory over Impala RFC. The students will be eager to continue their fine run of form.

Quins brace for tough Kabras test

Kenya Harlequin face a daunting challenge when they host defending champions Kabras Sugar at RFUEA Grounds. This fixture comes just a week after Kabras handed them a 43-20 defeat in the Enterprise Cup quarterfinals.

Quins have struggled in recent weeks, failing to register a win in their last three outings. However, they will be boosted by the return of Lucky Dewald from injury as they seek to cause an upset.

Meanwhile, Kabras, under coach Carlos Kyatwa, will be taking nothing for granted.

They have named a strong squad, with a formidable front row comprising Ephraim Oduor, Eugine Sifuna and Asuman Mugerwa.
