What you need to know:

  • Kabras, who claimed their maiden Kenya Cup title in 2016 before winning it back-to-back in 2022 and 2023 will for the first time in eight years be without their influential flanker Dan Sikuta, who has moved to Canada
  • With the retirement of their illustrious skipper and prop Curtis Lilako and hooker George Asin, KCB hopes to learn from the lessons in the last two seasons to strike back strongly
  • Quins, who have also won the Kenya Cup title nine times with their last coming in 2012 were on the verge of relegation in 2022 before former Homeboyz coach Paul “Pau” Murunga took charge to catapult them to third place in the just ended season

Kabras Sugar Rugby thirsts for a three-peat, KCB Rugby want what they thought was their preserve back while Kenya Harlequin can now dare dream of the title returning to “the home of rugby” after over a decade.

Arguably, the country's three finest rugby clubs, simply can’t wait for the start of the 2023/24 Kenya Cup next Saturday after it was postponed by a week.
